Paralysis of the facial nerve, based on electrodiagnostic studies, can be divided into three groups. The first group without a rebirth reaction, amenable to healing in 4-6 weeks. The second group of paralysis of the facial nerve gives, from the second week of the disease, according to Waller's law, a qualitative change in electrical excitability from muscles and nerves; these cases can be cured no earlier than three, four months, or even longer. The third group of paralysis with a complete rebirth reaction requires long-term treatment, more than a year; complete cure in these cases does not occur.

Abstract This paper reviews the outcome in 12 children with hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia who first developed symptoms between the ages of 2 and 8 months and who were treated with diazoxide (5 - 20 mg/kg/day) for 2-13 years. Two cases required subtotal pancreatectomy at the ages of 5 and 10 years because of recurrent hypoglycaemia and one girl with severe retardation died at the age of 6 years while still on diazoxide therapy. Two patients aged 3.5 and 9 years are still on treatment and in 7 cases diazoxide was discontinued between the ages of 2.5 and 14 years, indicating that spontaneous remission can be expected in a high proportion of children with post-neonatal hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia. Of the 9 children who started diazoxide within 3 months of the onset of symptoms, 5 are of normal intelligence and 4 are moderately retarded (IQs 63-71). In 3 children diazoxide was started 8 months to 3 years after the onset of symptoms; two are retarded (IQs 60-70) and the third was severely retarded and died aged 6 years.

Objective To describe the incidence and clinical course of patients who develop delayed facial nerve paralysis (DFNP) after surgical resection of vestibular schwannoma. Setting Tertiary skull base center. Methods Retrospective chart review. Results Two hundred and forty six consecutive patients, who underwent surgical resection for vestibular schwannoma at a single center between 2010 and 2015, were analyzed. Of these patients, 22 (8.9%) developed DFNP, defined here as deterioration of function by at least 2 House–Brackmann (HB) grades within 30 days in patients with immediate postoperative HB ≤ 3. The mean age of DFNP patients was 47.2 years (range: 17–67) and 16 (73%) were female. The mean tumor size in greatest dimension was 2.1 cm (range: 0.7–3.5 cm). At the conclusion of each case, the facial nerve stimulated at the brainstem. Mean immediate postoperative facial nerve function was HB 1.8 (range: 1–3). Average facial nerve function at the 3-week-postoperative visit was 4.4 (range: 2–6). In 1-year, 8 patients (36%) recovered HB 1 function, 10 patients (46%) recovered to HB 2, and 2 patients (9%) were HB 3. The remaining 2 patients did not recover function and were HB 6 at last follow-up. Initial postoperative facial nerve function (HB 1 or HB 2) was associated with improved recovery to normal (HB 1) function (p = 0.018). Conclusion A majority of patients that develop delayed paralysis will recover excellent facial nerve function. Patients should be counseled; however, a small percentage of patients will not recover function long-term, despite having a previously functioning and anatomically intact nerve.
