  • Title: [Trigeminal-facial reflex of the orbicularis orbis muscle in patients with flaccid paralysis of the facial musculature].
    Author: Smirnov IuK, Bagrov FI, Melamed IT.
    Journal: Zh Nevropatol Psikhiatr Im S S Korsakova; 1978; 78(6):846-50. PubMed ID: 676610.
    Abstract:
    With the aid of electric stimulation of the supraorbital nerve the authors studied the trigeminal facial reflex and evoked potentials of the facial nerve in patients with sluggish paresis of the facial muscles; 48 patients with neuritis of the facial nerve, 26 patients with polyradiculoneuritis, 5 patients with encephalitis and the syndrome of nucleus damage of the facial nerve (including 38 children) and 3 patients with myasthenia were studied. It is demonstrated that along with the equal extent of flaccidness of the facial muscles there are different characteristics of indices of the latent period and the amplitude of the trigeminal facial reflex, which are of diagnostic and prognostic significance.
