Between 1978 and 1995, 63 patients with facial nervous palsy were treated. From them, 60 cases have petrosal origin and 3 cases - extra petrosal origin, including otitis, especially otitis with cholesteatoma, Bell paralysis, trauma (temporal bone fracture, frequently involving facial nerve). Among them 40 cases required surgical exploration of the facial nerve. 20 cases were treated by medicines.
