Abstract
Objectives: This study aimed to review the incidence, outcomes and treatment of delayed facial nerve palsy (DFP) following otological surgery.
Methods: MEDLINE, Pubmed, Embase and The Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched up to 10 May 2024. A systematic review was conducted per the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines of studies reporting on DFP following otological surgery. The risk of bias was assessed using the JBI critical appraisal tools.
Results: Forty-nine articles were included with 201 instances of DFP following 24,917 operations from 1967 to 2021. The mean day of onset post-operatively was 8.4. 93 per cent of episodes fully recovered, with most cases taking between eight days and one month to recover.
Conclusion: Many theories of the pathogenesis of DFP exist. It is rare and has an excellent prognosis following treatment with corticosteroids with or without anti-viral therapy.
目的:本研究旨在回顾耳科手术后迟发性面神经麻痹(DFP)的发生率、预后和治疗。方法:检索截至2024年5月10日的MEDLINE、Pubmed、Embase和Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials。根据系统评价和荟萃分析的首选报告项目(PRISMA)指南对耳科手术后DFP的研究报告进行系统评价。使用JBI关键评估工具评估偏倚风险。结果:1967年至2021年共进行24917例DFP手术,纳入201例文献49篇。术后平均发病时间8.4天。93%的发作完全恢复,大多数病例需要8天到一个月的时间才能恢复。结论:关于DFP的发病机制存在多种理论。这是罕见的,并有良好的预后后,治疗皮质类固醇与抗病毒治疗或不。
