Paresis of the facial nerve
Obrny lícního nervu
Jsou popsány příznaky supranukleárního, nukleárního, infranukleárního postižení lícního nervu a jejich různý klinický obraz. Stanovení topognózy – výškové léze poškození lícního nervu má prognostickou cenu. Významným přínosem ke stanovení prognózy obrny je dobrá znalost klinického obrazu a EMG vyšetření s elektrostimulací nervu. Konzervativní léčba dávkami steroidů spojená s antivirotiky je nejúčinnější. Chirurgická léčba s revizí nervu ve Fallopiově kanálku je rezervována jen pro atypické případy. Jsou probrány obrny zánětlivé, Guillainův-Barrého, Ramseyův-Huntův, Bannwarthův, Melkerssonův-Rosenthalův syndrom, obrny u těhotných, diabetiků, kongenitální, traumatické a tumorózní.

Overview
Described are symptoms of the supranuclear, nuclear, infranuclear involvement of n. facialis and their different clinical picture. Topognosis, the determination of the level of the lesion, is of prognostic significance in the affection of the nerve. An important contribution to the determination of prognosis in facial paralysis is sound knowledge of the clinical picture and an EMG investigation with electrostimulation of the nerve. Conservative treatment with steroids and antiviral agents is the most effective. Surgical treatment with revision of the nerve in the fallopian canal is left for atypical cases. Dealt with are inflammatory paralyses; Guillain-Barré, Ramsey-Hunt, Banworth’s, and Melkersson-Rosenthal syndromes; paralyses in the pregnant, in diabetics; congenital, traumatic, and tumorous paralyses.
Key words:
Bell’s paralysis – topognosis of the facial nerve – Bannworth’s syndrome – Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome – Guillant-Baré syndrome – various etiologies of facial nerve paralysis.
