Abstract

When a viable proximal facial nerve is not accessible, facial nerve paralysis has been managed with hypoglossal facial anastomosis, which results in varying degrees of hemiglossal atrophy and its sequelae. These authors have used the masseteric nerve to neurotize the facial nerve in one patient.
