Abstract:
砄bjective: To explore an effective method for Electroneurography(ENoG) of facial nerve. Methods: ENoG of 114 normal subjets and 69 patients with traumatic facial nerve injuries were investigated. Latency time(LT), duration time(DT), amplitude(A) and square under the curve(S) were measured in facial muscles when facial nerve was stimulated postauricularly or anteroauricularly. Results: In most facial musles except square muscle of lower lip postauricular stimulation gave longer LT, shorter DT, lower A and smaller S. Conclusion: The postauricular stimulation is effective prior to anteroauricular stimulation for electroneurography of the facial nerve.
