✓ A simple technique is described for protecting the cornea in patients with peripheral facial nerve palsy while waiting for recovery of nerve function. The application of an adhesive strip to the superior eyelid permits opening and closing of the eye, and provides good protection of the cornea.

Facial paralysis is a potentially disabling complication of temporal bone fractures. Although unilateral palsy is commonly encountered, bilateral facial nerve palsy is rare, especially in post-traumatic situations. Other recognised causes of bilateral facial palsy are neurologic, infectious, neoplastic, idiopathic or metabolic disorders. A 25-year-old male patient presented with difficulty in talking, eating and closing eyes for 15 days since a post-vehicular accident. CT of skull showed bilateral longitudinal temporal bone fractures. Bilateral facial palsy was confirmed by clinical and topodiagnostic tests. Patient was given a course of steroids which led to an early improvement on left side followed by a delayed right-sided improvement at 6 months.

AbstractWe examined a very unusual patient who developed peripheral facial palsy with chickenpox. A survey of the English literature revealed that eight such patients had been reported, but the period between the appearance of the vesicles of varicella and the facial nerve palsy ranged from five days before to 16 days after the eruption development. We presume that the route of infection was neurogenous in patients who had palsy after the appearance of the eruptions, but haematogenous in patients who had palsy before the appearance of vesicles. The two patients whose infection route was presumed to be haematogenous, had a poor prognosis.
