Abstract
In 29 patients with unilateral lesions of the chorda tympani, the parotid reflex secretions of both sides were simultaneously collected and analyzed. The median value of the flow rate (ml/15 min) of the homolateral parotid gland was reduced to nearly one-half, as compared with the unaltered contralateral side. Concentrations of amylase and protein were not significantly different. Those secretory fibres which join the facial nerve in its intratemporal course seem to reach the parotid gland mainly via the chorda tympani and, to a lesser extent, via the facial nerve directly. Bei 29 Patienten mit einseitig durchtrennter Chorda tympani wurde die reflektorische Parotissekretion im Seitenvergleich gemessen und analysiert. Der Medianwert der Flußraten (ml/15 min) war auf der Seite der Läsion um nahezu die Hälfte im Vergleich zur gesunden Kontrollseite reduziert, während die Amylase- und Proteinkonzentration keinen wesentlichen Seitenunterschied erkennen ließen. Die sich dem N. facialis bereits intratemporal angeschlossenen sekretorischen Fasern scheinen daher vor allem über die Chorda tympani die Drüse zu erreichen.Keywords
