BACKGROUND Background: Nowadays, the application of computer technology in the medical field is more and more extensive, and many diseases can achieve better diagnosis and treatment effects through computer technology. OBJECTIVE Objective: The paper applies intelligent facial dynamic image information to the clinical treatment of peripheral acupuncture and moxibustion for the treatment of peripheral facial paralysis. An automatic acupoint positioning algorithm based on facial information dynamic image is proposed, which provides an objective and standard basis for the treatment of facial acupuncture and moxibustion. METHODS Methods: The paper selects the head threshold, that is, the facial dynamic image information as the research background, and divides the facial features according to the "three courts and five eyes" rule, and uses the Minimum Eigenvalue operator to detect the corner points of the facial features, locate the facial features, and use the face. The feature position is used as a reference coordinate for facial acupoint positioning. RESULTS Results: After verification, it was found that the positioning was accurate, and the peripheral facial paralysis of the patient was improved after warm acupuncture point positioning treatment, which improved the facial nerve function of the patient, improved the treatment efficiency and shortened the treatment time. Therefore, this technology is worthy of clinical promotion. CONCLUSIONS Conclusion: Through experimental analysis, the algorithm is proved to be effective and accurate. Based on facial dynamic image information to locate acupoints, warm acupuncture has a significant effect on peripheral facial paralysis, which can significantly improve facial nerve function and shorten treatment time, which is worthy of clinical promotion.

Objective. To explore the status of electroacupuncture (EA) among other treatments for peripheral facial paralysis (PFP). Methods. Randomized controlled trials comparing EA with other treatments that met the eligibility criteria published in databases were included. The differences were observed and quantified through the risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous outcomes and the standardized mean difference (SMD) for continuous outcomes. Then, their 95% confidence intervals (CI) were recorded. Results. Twenty-three studies involving 1985 participants were included. META-analysis results showed that EA was better than manual acupuncture for PFP (RR: 1.16, 95% CI 1.11 to 1.22, for responding rate; SMD: 2.26, 95% CI 0.15 to 4.37, for facial nerve function) and current promoted recovery (RR: 1.21, 95% CI 1.15 to 1.27, for responding rate; SMD: 2.87, 95% CI 1.16 to 4.58, for facial nerve function). When combined with other treatments, EA improved their effectiveness (RR: 1.19, 95% CI 1.12 to 1.28, responding rate; SMD: 1.85, 95% CI 0.67 to 3.03, facial nerve function). Conclusion. Patients with PFP received EA (used separately or combined with other treatments) resulting in a better prognosis. However, the quality of evidence was very low-to-moderate. Considering the poor quality of evidence, we are not very confident in the results. We look forward to more research and update results in the future and improve the evidence quality.

Non-iatrogenic traumatic facial paralysis is most common in intratemporal facial nerve injury caused by temporal bone fracture, followed by intraparotid facial nerve branch injury. Facial paralysis caused by injury to the extratemporal trunk of the facial nerve is extremely rare. We present a case of a 60-year-old man suffering from immediate complete left peripheral facial paralysis due to blunt transection of extratemporal trunk of facial nerve by stabbing with a car key. There was a facial nerve defect about 1 cm in length. The great auricular nerve was grafted to repair the facial nerve. Over 12 months, his facial nerve function improved to a House–Brackmann III/VI.

Unrelated Condition

We present a case of a seven-year-old child with a congenital facial palsy, diagnosed at birth, who subsequently developed a non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection of the ipsilateral parotid gland. This required parotid exploration to treat the NTM disease with the intention of identifying and protecting the facial nerve to preserve any residual facial nerve function. At operation, thorough exploration revealed the complete absence of the nerve both at the stylomastoid foramen and more peripherally within the substance of the parotid gland. Exploration of the facial nerve for congenital facial paralysis is not normally indicated. Surgical treatment, if required, tends to involve the use of techniques such as cross facial nerve and free vascularized muscle grafting. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of complete congenital facial nerve agenesis, diagnosed incidentally during a surgical procedure for an unrelated condition.

Facial Nerves

Fifty-five consecutive cases of neoplastic involvement of the internal auditory meatus resulting in ipsilateral retrocochlear auditory dysfunction were reviewed. The majority of these tumors (89%) were solitary schwannomas of the eighth nerve. Eleven percent were other tumors. Preoperative facial paralysis was unusual in eighth nerve schwannomas (6.1%) and much more common in other tumors (66.6%). These data tend to suggest that facial paralysis preoperatively increases the probability that the tumor is other than an eighth nerve schwannoma. Furthermore, facial paralysis resulting from an eighth nerve schwannoma indicates a poorer prognosis for ultimate facial nerve function. The small numbers in this series, though far from conclusive, suggest that normally functioning facial nerves may be infiltrated by eighth nerve schwannomas. Failure of eventual recovery of facial nerve function in the postoperative period may suggest tumor infiltration.
