Abstract

|
Facial paralysis has long been investigated from ancient times of human beings. Although there was a sculpture of an Italian general with facial paralysis on BC 1 century, the first report about the presence of facial weakness could be founded on the paper of Conelis Stalpart Van der Wiel(1620-1702). From the time of the first report, some reports about the anatomical and functional studies of facial nerve had been performed by many scholars. Among them, a Scottich neuroscientist Sir Charles Bell(1774-1842) had announced the importance of facial asymmetry or altered facial expression induced by the disease of facial nerve . Since vascular insufficiency, viral reactivation, autoimmuine disease had been thought of the pathophysiology of facial palsy, James Ramsay Hunt introduced the herpetic inflammation on geniculate ganglion as an ganglionitis as the main mechanism of herpetic facial palsy. Ugo Fisch had pointed out the facial nerve decompression for acute severe facial palsy. KK Adour had dispute the surgical consideration and emphasized the medical treatment of steroid. Mark May had complied the facial nerve surgery of reanimation and rejuvenation for facial palsy. The facial nerve study is actually performed by the Korean otologic society group and in the future, there could be many reports about the new diagnostic tool, or surgical consensus for the facial palsy, or facial rejuvenation for chronic facial palsy.
