Abstract:
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of left move and twists of I/t curve on predicting prognosis of facial paralysis.Methods181 cases with 171 Bell's palsy and 10 Hunt's syndrome were examined with I/t curve of frontal muscle and upper orbicularis. The assessing criterion of diseases course was determined according to the recovery time of frontal muscle evaluated by raising eyebrow, the recovery time of orbicularis ascertained by House-Brackmann Ⅰ, Ⅱ grades and stable phase in partial moderate and severe facial paralysis.ResultsThe recovery time of frontal muscle and orbicularis between twist and non-twist in I/t curve and in sex was not significant. The left move of I/t curve was confined to slight, moderate and severe arranges; the recovery time was not significant also. Twist rate in I/t curve was highest in moderate facial paralysis and then second in orbicularis of slight paralysis. The left move of I/t curve had a very significant relationship with recovery time of frontal muscle and orbicualris.ConclusionThe left move of I/t curve plays a very important role in determining nerve injury degrees and predicting prognosis of facial paralysis.
