Abstract

Clinical evidence is presented which seems to show that partial facial paralysis occurring before or after operations such as are mentioned herein has diagnostic significance in location of the part of the nerve trunk involved. The institution of early operative relief for thr part of thenerve trunk involved. The institution of early operative relief for the compressed or injured nerve seems to be a rational method of treatment. Partial facial paralysis occurring in te presence of chronic suppurative otitis dose not necessarily mean that the lesion causing the paralysis in situated in the intracranial nuclei.
