Abstract:
Objective To research the effect of nimodipine in the prevention and treatment of delayed facial palsy after microvas-cular decompression .Methods A retrospective analysis was taken from January 2009 to March 2012 ,193 cases of patients with fa-cial spasm undergoing MVD in our department .According to whether applied vasodilators after operation ,all cases were divided into two groups :the experimental group(72 cases)with the treatment of nimodipine for two weeks ;the control group(121 cases) ,and not treated with nimodipine .The follow-up time was 6-12 months .Observe and compare the incidence ,level of delayed facial paraly-sis onset time and disease duration time between two groups .Results In the experimental group had 6 cases of late facial paralysis , the incidence was 8 .3% (6/72) ,onset time was (14 .5 ± 5 .2)days ,disease duration was (41 .3 ± 14 .4)days .The incidence of control group was 9 .1% (11/121) ,onset time was (12 .2 ± 7 .4)days ,disease duration was (55 .7 ± 36 .4)days .There was no significant difference between groups(P>0 .05) .According to House-Brackman classification ,there were 4 cases of grade Ⅱ and 2 cases of grade Ⅲ in experimental group .In control group ,there were 2 cases of grade Ⅱ ,6 cases of grade Ⅲ ,3 cases of grade Ⅳ .The differ-ence was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion The delayed facial paralysis is influenced by a variety of causes .Vasodila-tor drugs can reduce the incidence of delayed facial paralysis ,and play a certain role in promoting facial paralysis restored .
