Facial Nerve Injuries

Facialisnervskador

Svensk definition

Traumatiska skador på ansiktsnerven. Sådan skada kan ge ansiktsförlamning, nedsatt tårflöde och salivbildning, och förlust av smaksinnet i tungans främre del. Nerven kan återbildas till sitt ursprungliga mönster eller med avvikelser, vilka kan leda till tårflöde vid smakstimulering och andra syndrom.

Engelsk definition

Traumatic injuries to the facial nerve. This may result in FACIAL PARALYSIS, decreased lacrimation and salivation, and loss of taste sensation in the anterior tongue. The nerve may regenerate and reform its original pattern of innervation, or regenerate aberrantly, resulting in inappropriate lacrimation in response to gustatory stimuli (e.g., crocodile tears) and other syndromes.
