Ayurveda is sciences of medicine and health practicing anciently and it possessing effective methods for the treatment of various diseases. Ayurveda not only offer approaches for the management of curable diseases but also encompasses knowledge of incurable diseases. Panchakarma is one of the therapies of ayurveda which purify body and cleans all shrotas even at cellular level. Panchakarma therapy involves many sub therapies such as; Navannasya which is very useful in the management of various diseases such as; facial paralysis which involves weakness of facial muscles resulting from temporary or permanent loss of facial nerve. The study was planned to measure efficacy of navannasya in the treatment of Arditroga and it was found that navannasya gives good results in Ardit or facial paralysis. Some patient of cured effectively after the treatment with Navannasya. Keywords: Ayurveda, Ardit, Facial Palsy, Panchakarma, Navannasya.

Facial nerve aplasia is an extremely rare condition that is usually syndromic, namely, in Moebius syndrome. The occurrence of isolated agenesis of facial nerve is even rarer, with only few cases reported in the literature. We report a case of congenital facial paralysis due to facial nerve aplasia diagnosed on MRI, while no noticeable abnormality was detected on the temporal bone CT.

Peripheral Facial Palsy is a neurological disorder that has motor and sensory consequences and affects the facial nerve. It causes alterations in the action of the muscles of the face, in the secretion of saliva, tears, and in the sense of taste. The objective of this publication is to report a case in which a treatment with minimally invasive combined therapies was performed together with the use of low-level laser therapy, in a 52-yearold female patient. With relevant medical history, referred for aesthetic evaluation and with unresolved moderate facial paralysis. She was subjected to laser therapy with wavelength (808 nm) and an energy of 3 Joules per session on the affected side, supplemented with Botulinum Toxin Type A, on the healthy side. The treatment of peripheral facial paralysis with minimally invasive combined therapies has proven to be a useful therapeutic tool for facial sequelae. In turn, low-level laser photobiomodulation therapy is promising as an adjunct in the nerve repair process, which would allow functional recovery of the facial nerve in the medium and long term.

Main Effects

Fifty-eight children showing facial palsy during the acute phase of poliomyelitis were re-examined from 23 to 43 months after the onset. Twenty-six children showed complete recovery, but appreciable residual weakness was noted in 21 patients. Complaints referable to the eye and a tendency to chew on the unaffected side were the main effects of the deformity, but some children began to react emotionally to their disfigurement at about 4 years of age. Unfavorable prognostic signs included the presence of bulbar lesions, involvement of the upper facial muscles, especially the frontalis, and failure to improve after about 18 months. Physiotherapy appeared to have no definite value in this condition.

Objectives 1) To retrospectively review the pathophysiology and radiologic features of delayed facial palsy after stapedectomy. 2) To discuss the management strategy of this unusual problem. Methods 450 stapedectomies performed at our institution were retrospectively reviewed from 1997 to 2007. A total of 2 patients in this series developed a delayed facial paralysis postoperatively. The clinical presentation, radiographic characteristics on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and the management of these patients are presented. Results A total of 2 patients out of 450 stapedectomies within a 10-year period developed the rare complication of delayed facial paralysis (postoperative days 12 and 41, respectively). Both patients developed rapidly progressive complete facial nerve paralysis preceded by periauricular pain and dysguesia. No sign of infection was present in the operated ear. MRI with gadolinium of the internal auditory canal demonstrated gadolinium enhancement of the labyrinthine portion of the facial nerve as seen in Bell's palsy. Both patients were treated with oral corticosteroids and antiviral medications. Subsequent imaging revealed decreased enhancement of the facial nerve with complete resolution of facial paralysis. Conclusions In the rare complication of delayed facial paralysis after stapedectomy, MR imaging is a useful diagnostic tool to dictate the treatment strategy. Delayed facial paralysis following stapedectomy can be treated medically when the MRI scan demonstrates enhancement of the facial nerve in the labyrinthine segment.

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.

Detailed knowledge of facial nerve anatomy and an understanding of the natural history of the different conditions which result in facial palsy is a prerequisite for clinicians who are involved in the management of this devastating affliction.

Ardita is a condition that developes due to excessive aggravation of Vata and causes distortion of face. Facial palsy the paralysis of facial nerve also affects the movement of facial muscles and shows similar symptoms. So we can almost correlate these diseases. Allopathic management of facial palsy includes the use of steroids and some anti-inflammatory drugs only, with a chance of recurrence and side effects. Present study reveals that Ardita can be managed successfully with ayurvedic treatments with lesser chance of recurrence and without any side effects.

Acute facial nerve disease leading to peripheral facial paralysis is commonly associated with viral infections. COVID-19 may be a potential cause of peripheral facial paralysis and neurological symptoms could be the first and only manifestation of the disease. We report a case of a term pregnancy diagnosed with COVID-19 after presenting with isolated peripheral facial palsy.

Nerve Conduction Block

There is controversy on the management of the idiopathic facial nerve palsies (Bell’s palsy). About two out of every three patients have a nerve conduction block alone and recover completely in less than one month.1 The rest develop denervation of the facial muscles to a varying degree and never recover completely. In addition, contracture of the facial muscles may occur, with severe disfigurement. About 10% of all patients with facial palsy have complete denervation and serious sequelae.2 Using electromyography3 and measurement of the anodal galvanic threshold4 an accurate prognosis can be given within the first week.
