Clinical Analysis of 757 Cases of Facioplegia

Abstract

Objective: To explore the etiology, age, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of facioplegia. Methods: A retrospective etiology and epidemiological survey of 757 patients with facioplegiaadmitted to the People's Hospital of Shaanxi Province from January 2015 to October 2017 was conducted to analyze their clinical features.

Results: The primary incidence was the highest, accounting for 40% of the total incidencerate, the highest incidence of 19-60 years old, accounting for 48% of the total morbidity,the highest incidence of retirees, accounting for 43% of the total incidence rate,11% of patients cured at discharge, 83% improved.

Conclusion: The etiology of facial paralysis is complicated, the incidence rate of adults is higher than that of children. The incidence rate of 41-60 years old is the highest, and the hospitalization days are mostly 8-14 days. For patients with facioplegia, early diagnosis, timely and reasonable treatment, most of the prognosis is good.Facioplegia, also known as facial paralysis, is mainly characterized by facial expression muscle group dyskinesia,clinical manifestations include oblique mouth and eye, mouth angle drooping of the affected side after shutting up, closing eyes, raising eyebrows, bulging gills, baring teeth cannot be completed, is a common clinical disease can occur all year round and in any age group. It is most common in adults and more male than female. Its etiology is complex,also still unknown, and this disease often due to buccal facial feelings of cold or wind and heat after the attack. The onset is rapid, mostly are delayed paralysis of one side muscle.Taking effective treatment measures in time is very beneficial to the recovery and prognosis of the disease. Since January 2015 to October 2017, 757 patients with facioplegia have been hospitalized in our hospital.The overall rate of complete recovery was 97.6% with significantly faster recovery in younger children and in patients with NB as compared to idiopathic facial palsy. Both patients with incomplete recovery were at least 14 years old and presented late in the course of the disease [Andreas ChristophJenkeet’al 3 May,2011]. The analysis is as follows:
