Presentation
We present a 65-year-old man with Darier disease with pityriasis amiantacea on the scalp, alopecia, and congenital facial nerve palsy. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The pathophysiology, presentation, diagnosis, and management of these entities is discussed in detail in a clear, easy to understand format. [books.google.com]
If the patient presents later then a number of other surgical options maybe required. [southernplasticsurgery.com.au]
Sensorineural hearing loss was present in 11 patients (11%), with mixed hearing loss in most patients. [emedicine.medscape.com]
If proximal and distal nerve ends cannot be repaired, but are present, then nerve grafting is performed. If a proximal nerve stump is not present, then a nerve transfer from the hypoglossal nerve or a cross facial nerve graft can be considered. [microsurgeon.org]

- Alopecia

Ears
- Pulsatile Tinnitus
The focus is on patients presented with vertigo, disequilibrium, hearing loss, pulsatile and non-pulsatile tinnitus, facial nerve weakness, and complications of the otitis media. [books.google.com]
Workup
Further workup of facial nerve palsy is dictated by clinical suspicion of the underlying cause of facial weakness. [eyewiki.aao.org]
Treatment
It’s extremely integral for treatment to be tailored to the patient and their particular disorder. [facialparalysisinstitute.com]

congenital; Bell’s palsy; and relapsing from a prior treatment. [medicaldaily.com]
Treatment with prednisolone should begin within 3 days (72 hours) of the symptoms starting. Bell's palsy is rare in children, and most children who are affected make a full recovery without treatment. [nhs.uk]
Prognosis
However, in a majority of the cases, the facial nerve palsy resolves on its own, without therapy; although, close clinical monitoring is initially necessary The prognosis of Facial Nerve Palsy due to Birth Trauma is usually excellent with treatment Who [dovemed.com]
The prognosis for good recovery is better in cases when the paresis is only partial. Facial nerve palsy has a broad differential diagnosis. [clinicaladvisor.com]
Prognosis of secondary facial facials depends on the success and management of the primary disease process. [eyewiki.aao.org]
[…] age group, the prognosis for full recovery is excellent in approximately 95% of cases. [primarypsychiatry.com]
Lacrimation: Mildly affected in some patients Taste: No clinically significant changes in most patients Sensory loss 7 Mild or None May be present on face or tongue: On side of paralysis Possibly related to involvement of greater superficial petrosal nerve Prognosis [163.178.103.176]
Etiology
The etiology was undetermined. [ 1 ] COMMENT. This appears to be the first report of familial congenital facial palsy. A partial agenesis of the facial nerve nucleus is considered in etiology. [pediatricneurologybriefs.com]
Typically, the combination of sensory and motor symptoms correlate to intra-cranial CN 7 pathology, while isolated motor symptoms are associated with extra-cranial CN 7 lesions. [1] Etiology There are numerous possible etiologies of facial nerve palsy [eyewiki.aao.org]

Pathophysiology of Bell’s Palsy Many patients with Bell’s palsy have been found to have rising antibody titers to herpes simplex virus. 31 Different pathophysiological processes have been suggested, 31 including active viral invasion or immune processes [primarypsychiatry.com]
Pathophysiology Main cause of Bell's palsy is latent herpes viruses (herpes simplex virus type 1 and herpes zoster virus), which are reactivated from cranial nerve ganglia Edema of nerve within inelastic fallopian canal Recovery begins by 3 weeks [slideshare.net]
Prevention
The goals of surgery include protecting the eye, preventing drooling and re-establishing facial symmetry both in motion and at rest. [myplasticsurgery.gr]
You can't prevent Bell's palsy Because it's probably caused by an infection, Bell's palsy can't be prevented. It may be linked to the herpes virus. You'll usually only get Bell's palsy once, but it can sometimes come back. [nhs.uk]
