inherited facial palsy without involvement of other cranial nerves or facial and limb anomalies has been reported rarely in the literature. in the classic mobius syndrome, as a syndrome of rhombencephalic development, in addition to facial palsy, there are bilateral or unilateral abducens palsy, dysmorphic facial features, and limb anomalies. we found 11 patients with isolated facial palsy in f...

A simple method of line drawing animation creation method from a human facial video is presented in this paper. Without much manual intervention, the work could be used in personal cartoon video processing and communication. In this domain, a number of works has been proposed, while most of them need interactive processing or specific data such as 3D model. The method presented in this paper co...

The aim of this study was to analyse the effects of cranial base orientation on the morphology of the craniofacial system in human populations. Three geographically distant populations from Europe (72), Africa (48) and Asia (24) were chosen. Five angular and two linear variables from the cranial base component and six angular and six linear variables from the facial component based on two refer...

This study explores deriving minimal features for a robotic face to convey information (via facial expressions) that people can perceive and understand. Recent research in computer vision has shown that a small number of moving points/lines can be used to capture the majority of information (~95%) in human facial expressions. Here, we apply such findings to a minimalist robot face design, which...

case presentation here, we report the case of a 35-year-old man complaining of bilateral incomplete eye closure, two weeks after a closed head injury caused by a motor vehicle accident. introduction although bilateral facial nerve palsy is a rare condition, its etiology is more detectable than the unilateral type. a temporal bone fracture is one cause of bilateral facial nerve palsy, contributi...

introduction gradenigo’s syndrome consists of ophthalmoplegia, facial palsy, and facial pain due to involvement of abducens and facial nerves as well as the trigeminal ganglion. this involvement is due to infections of ipsilateral middle ear and mastoid bone. case presentation a 14-month-old girl was referred to a private clinic with chief complaint of acute and sudden-onset right ophthalmopleg...

conclusions in surgery for facial nerve neuroma in the mastoid segment, it is better not to rely on imaging alone; all facial nerves from the geniculate ganglion to the styloid foramen become exposed for tumor removal. case presentation in this report, we describe a rare facial nerve neuroma in the mastoid portion in a 55-year-old man with a history of hypertension (htn) and diabetes mellitus (...

introduction: due to the complexity of facial asy-mmetry, the diagnosis of different aspects of asymmetry via conventional radiographs is not precise. in this study, we investigated findings of facial asymmetry by using cone- beam computed tomography (cbct) images. materials and methods: in this descriptive study, we evaluated cbct findings of 18 patients i.e. a group of 14 females and 4 males ...

background facial telangiectasias are superficial cutaneous vessels that can result in noticeable aesthetical imperfections. this study presents a technique for the removal of facial telangiectasias using hand cautery. methods twenty-five patients with facial telangiectasias were treated using hand cautery (medicell inc, athens, greece) during 2009-2013. photo documentation was performed for ea...
