    Extractions: Before you start to exercise, get familiar with your face. We suggest you print the diagram of the muscles and the list of the muscles' actions . Refer to them as you exercise. Use them to get to know your facial muscles and what each muscle is doing as it moves. This can help you learn to isolate muscle actions as well as coordinate multiple muscle movement. Regaining balanced, symmetrical movements is key to restoring the face as it was before. Therapists who specialize in facial retraining can offer further assistance with programs customized to your specific needs. Facial neuromuscular retraining is a highly specialized field, and involves training beyond the standard curriculum for physical therapy. There is no substitute for the experience of certified facial NMR therapists, and the tools available with physical therapy, such as EMG feedback. The majority of Bell's palsy cases will resolve without intervention or exercise. Patience is more important during recovery than pushing to exercise muscles that are likely to return to full function without assistance. Some cases will result in incomplete recovery or leave residuals. These exercises are not meant to replace a customized program under the supervision of a professional facial retraining therapist - If you feel you need professional help, don't hesitate to get it.

    Extractions: What is facial retraining? A specific program designed to retrain facial muscles for movement and expression after the Facial Nerve has been paralyzed. Facial expression is one of the most important skills humans possess. The face shows expressions and facial muscles provide the ability to smile, pucker, blink and chew. What are the goals of facial retraining? What conditions can cause facial paralysis? What is involved in facial retraining therapy? A thorough evaluation of facial movements through observation, dual channel Electromyograph (EMG) and sensation. Active self training by the patient includes: Individualized specific functional facial exercises Dual Channel Electromyograph training using sensory, visual and auditory feedback to teach the brain to make new neurological connections for facial movements when the old ones have been damaged. The patient observes on a screen all increments of movements. Also, the graphs on the computer screen compare right and left sides of the face so the patient can work toward symmetry.

    Extractions: Facial Paralysis A paralysis or weakness of one side of the face can be an alarming and depressing event in one’s life. At first it conjures up the notion of having developed a stroke, when in fact there are a myriad of other causes. There are certain features of a paralysis that are worth noting. First, is it really a paralysis or is it a weakness of facial movement or numbness in the face. Sensation of the face is transmitted by the trigeminal nerve while movement of the face is transmitted by the facial nerve and is the subject of our discussion. Is the entire face on one side weak? If the weakness involves the entire face including eyebrow motion, the problem can be isolated to the facial nerve. If the mid-face and lower-face are paralyzed but eyebrow motion is normal, then the problem may be isolated to regions within the brain, where the facial nerve fibers run. Associated weakness of the arm or leg would also point to a problem within the brain possible affecting other nerves. Is it a weakness or a complete paralysis of the face? This is an important distinction and will be discussed further.

    Extractions: Considerations: Facial paralysis in adults is often due to Bell's palsy . This disorder (probably derived from a virus) is characterized by a drooping mouth, dribbling saliva from the mouth, and problems with tearing from the affected eye. The consequences of Bell's palsy are mostly cosmetic. While the facial distortion usually improves over time, there is often some permanent deformity. Sometimes there is loss of taste on the same side of the tongue which the face is affected. Sound may also be louder on the affected side.

    Extractions: When Is Surgery Indicated for Bells Palsy? What is Bell's Palsy? Bell's palsy is a weakness (partial or total) of the facial nerve. The facial nerve is the nerve that controls expression on each side of the face, tearing, taste, and even hearing to some extent. In Bell's palsy, facial weakness develops suddenly or over a period of 48 hours. Often it is first noticed by a patient's family member as a crooked smile or slurred speech. Patients have repeatedly reported that it was noticed on first getting up in the morning. Other common symptoms include a sensation of facial numbness or tingling, a sensation of pulling of the face or mouth to one side, sensitivity to loud sounds, excessive tearing or dry eye, difficulty eating, headache, pain behind the ear, a change in taste. About 1 in 5000 people in the United States experience Bell's palsy each year. The problem can occur at any age. Bell's palsy occurs more often in pregnant women, people with diabetes, influenza, a cold or another respiratory illness than in other people.

    Extractions: ENT LINK ENT Health Information Other Otolaryngology Topics Bell's Palsy Twitching, weakness, or paralysis of the face are symptoms of a disorder involving the facial nerve, not a disease in itself. Abnormal movement or paralysis of the face can result from infection, injury, or tumors, and an evaluation by your physician is needed to determine the cause. An otolaryngologist-head and neck surgeon has special training and experience in managing facial nerve disorders. The facial nerve resembles a telephone cable and contains 7,000 individual nerve fibers. Each fiber carries electrical impulses to a specific facial muscle. Information passing along the fibers of this nerve allows us to laugh, cry, smile, or frown, hence the name, "the nerve of facial expression." When half or more of these individual nerve fibers are interrupted, facial weakness occurs. If these nerve fibers are irritated, then movements of the facial muscles appear as spasms or twitching. The facial nerve not only carries nerve impulses to the muscles of the face, but also to the tear glands, to the saliva glands, and to the muscle of the stirrup bone in the middle ear (the stapes). It also transmits taste from the front of the tongue. Since the function of the facial nerve is so complex, many symptoms may occur when the fibers of the facial nerve are disrupted. A disorder of the facial nerve may result in twitching, weakness, or paralysis of the face, in dryness of the eye or the mouth, or in disturbance of taste.

Facial drooping Facial paralysis is the total loss of voluntary muscle movement of one side of the face. Paralysis of the face Seventy-five per cent of cases of facial paralysis in adults are caused by an inflammation of the facial nerve called Bell's palsy . This disorder (probably derived from a virus) is common, affecting 25 out of 100,000 individuals per year. It is more common in people with diabetes. It usually affects one side of the face (very rarely both sides at one time), causing a drooping mouth, drooling , and excessive tearing from one eye. Paralysis occurs within a few hours to a few days. There may also be a loss of taste on the front of the tongue on the affected side of the face. Sound may also seem louder on the affected side (hyperacusis).

Pdf version of this article Snapshot Ali A Haydar Nabil M Hujairi Aiman Tawil and Raja A Sawaya MJA A 62-year-old woman with longstanding, well controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus and hypertension initially presented with a 2-day history of acute, partial right-sided facial weakness. The facial paralysis was not accompanied by hyperacusis, and taste sensation was preserved. The patient presented again 2 weeks later with complete paralysis of the left facial nerve and only partially resolved right-sided symptoms. No other central or peripheral neurological signs or symptoms were elicited during either presentation. As bilaterality makes facial neuropathy a more ominous sign of various known conditions, we carried out prompt further investigation. No abnormality was detected on chest x-ray or brain magnetic resonance imaging. However, a computed tomography scan of the chest showed bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy with bilateral basilar lung infiltrates ( Box , A). A transbronchial biopsy revealed a single, non-caseating granuloma ( Box , B).
