Abstract
Facial palsy describes the denervation of the facial nerve leading to difficulty in facial animation and expression. Facial synkinesis is the result of complex pathological nerve regeneration following damage to the facial nerve axons. Synkinesis in facial palsy can be managed using facial neuromuscular rehabilitation, botulinum toxin neuromodulators, and surgical treatment options. Botulinum toxin A can be used as an adjunct to other treatment options to manage synkinesis. This article will explore the role of botulinum toxin A in the management of synkinesis in facial palsy including the clinical assessment, injection location (muscles targeted), dosages, treatment interval, and long-term results. It will also include surgical management options.
面神经麻痹指的是面神经神经支配导致面部动画和表情困难。面部同步运动是面神经轴突受损后复杂的病理性神经再生的结果。面瘫患者的同步运动障碍可通过面部神经肌肉康复治疗、肉毒杆菌毒素神经调节剂和手术治疗来控制。肉毒杆菌毒素 A 可作为其他治疗方案的辅助手段来控制同步运动。本文将探讨 A 型肉毒毒素在治疗面瘫协同运动中的作用，包括临床评估、注射位置（目标肌肉）、剂量、治疗间隔和长期效果。它还将包括手术治疗方案。
期刊介绍：
Facial Plastic Surgery is a journal that publishes topic-specific issues covering areas of aesthetic and reconstructive plastic surgery as it relates to the head, neck, and face. The journal''s scope includes issues devoted to scar revision, periorbital and mid-face rejuvenation, facial trauma, facial implants, rhinoplasty, neck reconstruction, cleft palate, face lifts, as well as various other emerging minimally invasive procedures.
Authors provide a global perspective on each topic, critically evaluate recent works in the field, and apply it to clinical practice.
