Özet:

 


Bilateral Facial Nerve Paralysis (FNP) due to the temporal bone fracture is
rare condition. Management of the bilateral FNP is challenging. There is no
study on the results of the physiotherapy in bilateral FNP. This report
represented the outcomes of physiotherapy in a twenty-one years old, male
patient with bilateral FNP. The functional status of the patient progressed
from grade V to grade II in House-Brackmann classification. His facial symmetry
also improved. The physiotherapy methods, such as massage, electrical
stimulation, exercises, are useful to restore the normal facial function in
this case. In conclusion, physiotherapy approaches also are effective in the
treatment of bilateral FNP. It can be used as an alternative in the
conservative treatment of FNP.
