Carotid pseudoaneurysms of petrous localization are rare. They are mostly due to trauma, tumoral or infectious diseases, or a result of iatrogenic complications after skull base surgery. Symptoms such as facial paralysis are exceptional and have rarely been described in the literature until now. We report the case of a 64-year-old woman, who developed left peripheral facial paralysis induced by...

Peripheral facial paralysis is a relative common condition; it is mostly idiopathic, when it receives the name Bell’s palsy. However, we should be aware of the differential diagnosis with less common severe or potentially lethal diseases. Thus, there are cases in which facial paralysis is a manifestation of a temporal bone metastasis. This is a rare situation, although its incidence has apparen...

Ramsay Hunt syndrome is an infectious disease caused by the varicella zoster virus. It is characterized by the symptoms of facial paralysis, otalgia, and erythematous vesicular rash on the auricle and/or oral cavity. We present a case of a patient with clinical evidence of Ramsay Hunt syndrome involving the cranial nerves VI, VII, and VIII. The patient, a 66-year-old woman, showed left facial p...

This focus group study explored the social interaction experiences and strategies of 12 adults with Moebius Syndrome, a rare congenital condition characterized by facial paralysis. Content analysis revealed five themes of social functioning: social engagement/disengagement; resilience/sensitivity; social support/stigma; being understood/misunderstood; and public awareness/lack of awareness of M...

• A comprehensive review of subjective and objective facial paralysis grading. Investigate the correlations between asymmetry scores calculated from dynamics images grades a modified Sunnybrook grading system. Machine learning approaches applied which showed potential to improve accuracy Facial is loss movement due nerve damage. It essential for clinicians diagnose severity treat patients, asse...

Bell's palsy, which is defined as idiopathic peripheral facial paralysis of sudden onset, accounts for > 50% of all cases of facial paralysis. Different theories on the etiology of Bell's palsy have been proposed and investigated. Various clinical studies have suggested an etiological link between Bell's palsy and herpes simplex virus (HSV). In addition, animal experiments have shown the abilit...

BACKGROUND There are many patient-based and clinician-based scales measuring the severity of facial nerve paralysis and the impact on quality of life, however, the social perception of facial palsy has received little attention. The purpose of this pilot study was to measure the consequences of facial paralysis on selected domains of social perception and compare the social impact of paralysis ...
