BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The facial nerve grading system proposed by House and Brackmann is the most widely accepted for the clinical assessment of facial nerve injury. It is, however, subjective and discontinuous, and prone to interobserver variation. In order to remove subjectivity from analysis, we have therfore proposed the FEMA grading system at the Korean Otologic Study Group in 1995. This study describes the FEMA grading system and determines its reliability and usefulness by comparing it with the House-Brackmann system in assessing facial paralysis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ten experienced otolaryngologists using the FEMA and H-B systems studied 30 patients with various degrees of facial palsy. RESULTS: In the average of coincidence rate, the FEMA system showed 84.4% and the H-B system was 73.7% (p<0.05). The standard deviation in the grading by the FEMA system was lower than that by the H-B system (p=0.082). CONCLUSION: The study found that the FEMA grading system is more exact and objective in describing the severity of facial palsy than the House-Brackmann grading system. Especially, the FEMA grading system is more convenient to use in patients with partial weakness.

10.Delayed-onset unilateral facial paralysis after mastoidectomy: A case report
Elbert Digger Q. Baloco, MD ; Jose B. Orosa III, MD
Philippine Journal of Otolaryngology Head and Neck Surgery 2023;38(1):50-53
Objective:
To discuss the case of a 36-year-old man who presented with left unilateral facial paralysis 11 days after mastoidectomy.
Methods:
Design: Case Report
Setting: Tertiary Government Training Hospital
Patient: One
Results:
A 36-year-old man with recurrent left ear discharge of 30 years duration underwent left canal wall-down mastoidectomy and was discharged well after 3 days. On follow up after 8 more days, he was noted to have House Brackmann IV left facial paralysis. Following 5 days methylprednisolone, neurologic evaluation and physical therapy rehabilitation, facial paralysis improved in the ensuing weeks until House-Brackmann I was achieved at week 12.
Conclusion
Delayed-onset Facial Palsy (DFP) following tympanomastoid surgery may be approached conservatively, including steroids, acyclovir, and, if with a history of herpes or varicella infection, immunization can be given. Prognosis for DFP is good especially when the facial nerve is identified intraoperatively during otologic surgeries
