[Peripheral facial paralysis. Experience of a multidisciplinary approach].

Abstract

The authors report the evolution of 54 patients suffering from complete paralysis of the seventh cranial nerve. They point out the interest of a good diagnose and a multidisciplinary treatment including: drugs, infiltration, kinesitherapy and electrotherapy. A good repair (77%) is obtained if the treatment is early and regular. This therapy will be used according the results of clinical and electrophysiological examinations.
