| Title: | Traitement chirurgical de la paralysie faciale chez le lépreux en Iran
Surgical treatment of leprous facial paralysis in Iran-
| Source: | s.l; s.n; march-apr. 1980. 4 p. ilus.
| Abstract: | Leprous facial paralysis appears more frequent in Iran than in other countries. The damaged branch is more often the upper one inducing lagophtalmos and, sometimes, associated with a trigeminal anesthesia. The ocular risk is great. When the lower branch is struck down, it gives an inesthetic deformity and speaking difficulty. As a consequence, surgical treatment is necessary and directed: --against lagophtalmos, with static or dynamic methods, --against the ptosis of commissura labiorum with several techniques available.(AU).
