A nuclear oculomotor nerve syndrome is rarely caused by mesencephalic lesions. We describe 5 patients, 4 with unilateral syndrome (3 due to ischemia and 1 to mesencephalic hemorrhage) and 1 with bilateral nuclear ischemia of the third cranial nerve. These patients represent 0.2% of those admitted
We report a case of acquired abducens-oculomotor synkinesis, internuclear ophthalmoplegia, and abducens nerve palsy following brainstem hemorrhage. Weakening surgery on the medial rectus muscle did not eliminate the synergistic movement. The mechanism responsible for the abducens-oculomotor
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the efficacy of low dose of botulinum toxin type A (BTX-A) for facial synkinesis and hyperlacrimation.
METHODS
Eleven patients suffering from facial synkinesis after Bell's palsy or facial nerve injury were treated with a low dose of BTX-A, 0.5-1.25 U per point into several
A retrospective review of 29 cases of intratemporal facial nerve injuries included 18 temporal bone fractures, 7 gunshot wounds, and 4 iatrogenic complications. Surgical exploration confirmed involvement of the fallopian canal in the perigeniculate region in 14 longitudinal and 3 transverse or mixed
Despite complex facial anatomy, transplantation of soft tissues of the entire face, including the maxilla and mandibular segment anterior to the masseter muscle insertion, can be safely performed based on facial vessels alone. Inclusion of hair-bearing scalp requires dissection of the superficial
OBJECTIVE
The proton beam's Bragg peak permits highly conformal radiation of skull base tumors. This study, prompted by reports of transient (30% each) and permanent (10% each) facial and trigeminal neuropathy after stereotactic radiosurgery of vestibular schwannomas with marginal doses of 16-20 Gy,
