Abstract
The time course of electrical reactions in this condition varied much from that after section of the facial nerve or after Bell''s palsy. It was at least 1 wk before denervation could be suspected in the latter conditions by electrodiagnostic methods. In post-traumatic delayed facial palsy electrical reactions were demonstrated showing denervation at the time of palsy or even a few days before; this was probably related to its pathogenesis. Denervation occurred in 82% of cases, which is about double the incidence in Bell''s palsy.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
