How long can facial nerve injury recover?

summary

The recovery process of facial nerve injury takes time. The nerve is not the same as other muscle injuries. It is difficult to locate and treat. However, if we know where the problem is, the treatment is relatively simple. This winter, careless cycling and blowing caused facial nerve injury. I will share my experience with you, Teach us.

How long can facial nerve injury recover?

First, the anatomic diagnosis of facial nerve injury is of great significance in clinic. In clinical practice, after the basic distinction between upper and lower motor neuron paralysis, doctors often try to diagnose the severity of the injury first, rather than determine the exact anatomical location. It was observed that facial movement, tears, stapes reflex, taste and digastric function.

Second: the location of facial nerve injury during operation: after the facial nerve was exposed during operation, if the evoked potential could be elicited by stimulating the distal end of the facial nerve injury with electrodes, the electrodes would be moved to the proximal end point by point. When the electrode stimulation just reached the proximal end of the facial nerve injury, the evoked potential or potential could not be elicited.

Third, the localization method has its limitations, which is only suitable for early injury. The course of disease is longer, some functions may recover or some functions may be lost due to downward degeneration. Lacrimal function soon recovered. In the absence of stapes reflex, taste function may also recover. Tumors of the cerebellopontine angle (supraknee lesions) may lose taste due to descending degeneration.
