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...

purpose: congenital third nerve palsy was generally thought to exist in isolation without associated abnormalities. in this report, we present a case of congenital third nerve palsy in osteogenesis imperfecta. methods: a 6-month-old girl with osteogenesis imperfceta presented with ptosis and large incomitant exotropia in left eye (le) at birth. ocular examination revealed total third nerve pals...

PURPOSE Cranial nerve (CN) palsy is the main symptom in patients with locally advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). This study aimed to evaluate the therapeutic outcome of NPC with CN palsy and to analyze the prognostic factors. PATIENTS AND METHODS A total of 104 NPC patients with CN palsy curatively treated by conventional (n=44) or conformal (n=60) radiotherapy (RT) were enrolled. Upper...

STUDY DESIGN Retrospective multicenter study. PURPOSE We aimed to investigate prognostic factors affecting postsurgical recovery of deltoid palsy due to cervical disc herniation (CDH). OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Little information is available about prognostic factors affecting postsurgical recovery of deltoid palsy due to CDH. METHODS Sixty-one patients with CDH causing deltoid palsy (less t...

BACKGROUND: It is generally accepted that the risk of cerebral palsy decreases with increasing gestational age of live born infants. However, recent studies have shown that cerebral palsy often has prenatal antecedents including congenital malformations, vascular insults and maternal infection. Cerebral palsy is therefore better viewed as occurring among fetuses, rather than among infants. We e...

ABSTRACT
 The overall birth prevalence of cerebral palsy is about 2 per 1000 live births. Weakness in balance control one the most common problems encountered children with CP. One widely used physiotherapy approaches for CP Bobath therapy. Exercise method can improve postural and This study aims to determine effect exercise therapy a child spastic diplegic palsy. using single-subject rese...

Objectives: Despite the limited validity of Sunnybrook grading index, it is routinely used for clinical evaluation facial palsy. This study aimed to assess dynamic asymmetry in unilateral palsy and mathematically validate a modified version system.

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to examine whether selected genetic polymorphisms in the infant are associated with later-diagnosed cerebral palsy. METHODS A population-based case-control study was conducted of 28 single-nucleotide polymorphisms measured in newborn screening blood spots. A total of 413 children with later-diagnosed cerebral palsy were born to white women in South Au...

OBJECTIVES To identify the key predictive factors of radiation-induced cranial nerve palsy in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). METHOD AND MATERIALS From November 1998 to December 2007, all consecutive patients with newly diagnosed NPC who were curatively treated with radiotherapy and subsequently developed radiation-induced cranial nerve palsy (RICNP) were included in our study. ...
