Traumatic Facial Paralysis
Traumatic facial paralysis occurs when the facial nerve is injured due to trauma to the head and/or face.Treatment for Traumatic Facial Paralysis
If the facial paralysis was caused by a brain injury, treatment of the brain injury usually leads to improvement in facial nerve function. A temporal bone fracture may require surgery to either decompress the nerve or repair a lacerated nerve. If the facial nerve was damaged due to laceration, exploration of the nerve and repair is usually indicated.
