Facial paralysis

Neurological effects were seen in two people who were accidentally exposed to mixed cresols on the skin and later died. A l-year-old baby who had 20 ml of a cresol derivative spilled on his head was unconscious within 5 minutes autopsy revealed swelling and congestion of the brain (Green 1975). A man who fell into a vat containing a cresylic acid derivative and received burns on 15% of his body fell into a coma 9 days later (Cason 1959). A man who survived 5-6 hour immersion of his hands in a concentrated cresylic acid solution experienced persistent eye watering, followed by pain on the side of his face and, ultimately, marked facial paralysis (Klinger and Norton 1945). 

Neuromuscular blocking activity. Decoction of the seed oil, administered orally to adults of both sexes at a dose of 4.6 g/per-son, was active. A mixture of Piper longum, Zingiber officinale, Piper cubeba, Curcuma zedoaria, Juniperus communis, Cichorium intybus, Mentha arvensis. Commiphora mukul, and Sesamum indicum was given. Twenty five patients with laquwa (spastic facial paralysis) were treated with this mixture in divided doses of 4.6 g in 24 hours. Six grams of a decoction of Lavendula stoechas was also given in some cases. Sev-...

This formula can expel wind and phlegm, and thus relieve spasm. It is used when wind attacks the face where phlegm has accumulated. The wind stirs the phlegm, blocking the collaterals and causing spasm of muscles or facial paralysis. 

In clinical practice, it is used not only to treat facial paralysis and spasm, but also epilepsy due to wind and phlegm. 

Data from Brazil, where misoprostol has been used orally and vaginally as an abortifacient, have suggested a relation between the use of misoprostol by women in an unsuccessful attempt to terminate pregnancy and Mobius syndrome (congenital facial paralysis) in their infants (33). The frequencies of misoprostol use during the first trimester by mothers of infants in whom Mobius syndrome was diagnosed and mothers of infants with... 

Botulism was described much later than tetanus (Kemer 1817 Midura and Amon 1976 Pickett et al. 1976), and this delayed recognition is due to its much less evident symptoms, which include a generalized muscular weakness with diplopia, ptosis, dysphagia, facial paralysis, and reduced salivation and lacrimation. The paralysis then progressively descends to affect the muscles of the trunk, including respiratory and visceral muscles. All the symptoms of botulism can be ascribed to the blockade of skeletal and autonomic peripheral cholinergic nerve terminals (Tacket and Rogawski 1989).

Surgery for hemifecial spasm involves microvascular decompression of the fecial nerve by placement of a sponge under posterior fossa vessels (Jannetta procedure). Surgery for hemifecial spasm is associated with cure rates exceeding 80%, and beyond 2 years there appears to be little risk of relapse. However, surgical intervention can have serious complications such as permanent facial paralysis, deafness, stroke, and even death.
