Facial Nerve Injury a complication of superficial temporal artery biopsy
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 2011Co-Authors: Michael K Yoon, Jonathan C Horton, Timothy J McculleyAbstract:● PURPOSE: To describe 4 patients who sustained Facial Nerve Injury during temporal artery biopsy. ● DESIGN: Retrospective, observational case series. ● METHODS: The medical records were reviewed of 4 patients (2 men, 2 women; mean age 72.8 years, range 60 to 87), referred for evaluation of palsy of the frontal branch of the Facial Nerve following temporal artery biopsy. Main outcomes measured were site of incision, length of follow-up, and degree of recovery. ● RESULTS: In all cases, incisions were made in the preauricular region or on the pretrichial temple within 3 cm of the lateral canthal angle. Follow-up ranged from 1 month to over 5 years. No patient recovered completely; 2 had partial return of function, and 2 reported no improvement. ● CONCLUSIONS: Branch Facial Nerve palsy can occur with temporal artery biopsy and is likely to result in permanent disability. In all cases the incision was placed within the known course of the frontal branch of the Facial Nerve. To prevent this rare complication, we advocate biopsy of the parietal, rather than the frontal, branch of the superficial temporal artery. (Am J Ophthalmol 2011;152:251‐255. © 2011 by Elsevier Inc.

Facial Nerve Injury in Temporomandibular Joint Approaches.
Annals of maxillofacial surgery, 2018Co-Authors: Ayesha Moin, Akshay Shetty, Ts Archana, Saurabh KaleAbstract:Facial paralysis can be a devastating consequence resulting from blunt and penetrating trauma to the head and neck, as well as surgical Injury, either accidental or due to involvement by tumor. In addition, the etiology can be attributed to a variety of other causes, ranging from infectious to metabolic, and is frequently idiopathic in nature. The incidence of Facial Nerve Injury during temporomandibular joint (TMJ) surgeries varies among surgeons. There are many factors that could contribute to the Injury of the temporal and zygomatic branches of the Facial Nerve. These Nerves lie in a confluence of superficial fascia, temporalis fascia, and periosteum and may be injured by any dissection technique that attempts to violate the integrity of these regions. Excessive or heavy-handed retraction causes compression and/or stretching of Nerve fibers resulting in neuropraxia. The Facial Nerve then enters the parotid gland, where the main trunk branches into the upper and lower divisions at the pes anserinus. The Nerve further divides into five main branches: the temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, and cervical. The temporal branch lies within the superficial muscular aponeurotic system at the level of the zygomatic arch. In this paper, we evaluate the Facial Nerve function based on the House–Brackmann grading index after the preauricular approach for the treatment of condylar fractures, pathologies, and TMJ ankylosis cases. The Nerve functional regeneration postFacial Nerve Injury has been evaluated and reported in this retrospective study.

Facial Nerve Injury in the surgical management of benign parotid tumor
Chinese Archives of Otolaryngology-head and Neck Surgery, 2006Co-Authors: Jiang Shengyang, Meng Lingqiu, Yao Yongfang, Lu ChangpingAbstract:OBJECTIVE To observe the incidence of Facial Nerve Injury and its relationship to the types of operation. METHODS The clinical data of 116 patients who underwent parotid surgery from 1999 to 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. RESULTS The Facial Injury rate in total parotidectomy(66.7 %) was significantly higher than that in superFacial parotidectomy(39.2 %) and partial parotidectomy(12.5 %). The Facial Nerve Injury rate in the mandibular branch(31.9 %) was higher than that in the buccal branch(9.2 %) and the zygomaticoFacial branch(2.9 %). CONCLUSION The Injury of Facial Nerve branches was correlated with the surgical managements. A proper surgical managements and operative extent would reduce the incidence of Facial Nerve Injury and decrease the complications of the operation.
