Abstract:
Objective The clinical manifestations and mechanism of pathological synkinesia were studied. Methods Recurrent pathological synkinesia was measured by clinical and experimental nictitation reflex. The changes of nerve-muscle junctions were observed via scanning electron microscope. Results All the 32 cases of pathological synkinesia were denervation of degree Ⅲ and severe facial palsy. Reaction undulatory forms of musculus orbicularis oculi and musculus orbicularis oris recorded simultaneously at the stimulated side in trigemial-facial nerve reflex test accounted for 81%(28/32) patients and 89% guinea pigs. Conclusion Pathological synkinesia was the marker of severe facial palsy and was related with over-error in regeneration of nerve.
