Abstract
Facial electroneurography (ENoG) appears to be a reliable prognostic test for intratemporal facial nerve paralysis. ENoG is objective and allows a permanent record to be maintained. Nonetheless, occasional inconsistencies in clinical correlation may diminish the utility of ENoG. A qualitative study was undertaken to identify the possible reasons for the inaccuracy of ENoG in some patients. Four clinical groups and one experimental group were studied: (1) normal subjects, (2) patients with acute facial palsy, (3) patients with progressive facial palsy, (4) patients with temporal bone tumors and normal facial function, and (5) animals in which one facial nerve was crushed and repaired. The reliability of ENoG is dependent on careful interpretation of data obtained by optimal electrode placement and stimulus duration.Keywords
