RESUMO

Objetivo: Valorar el efecto del tratamiento con infiltraciones de toxina botulínica tipo A (TXB-A) en la funcionalidad facial, las sincinesias y la calidad de vida en pacientes con secuelas de parálisis facial periférica (PFP). Material y métodos: Presentamos un estudio prospectivo con una muestra de 20 pacientes con secuelas de PFP (15 mujeres, 5 varones) a los que se infiltró TXB-A (Botox® o Xeomin®). Todos los pacientes realizaron previamente un tratamiento personalizado basado en la reeducación neuromuscular. Se realizó una evaluación clínica previa a las infiltraciones y otra al cabo de 4 semanas. El efecto de las infiltraciones sobre la funcionalidad facial fue valorado mediante la escala Sunnybrook Facial Grading System (SFGS); el efecto sobre la calidad de vida se evaluó a través del cuestionario Facial Clinimetric Evaluation Scale (FaCE), y el efecto sobre la reducción de sincinesias se estudió utilizando el Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ). Resultados: La media de los valores del SFGS se incrementó tras el tratamiento con TXB-A, de 64,8 a 69,9 (p = 0,004). También se incrementó la media de los valores del FaCE Total, de 52,42 a 64,5 (p < 0,001), y la media de la subescala Social del FaCE, de 61,15 a 78,44 (p < 0,001). La media de los valores del SAQ disminuyó con las infiltraciones de TXB-A, de 46,22 a 37,55 (p = 0,001). Conclusiones: Las infiltraciones de TXB-A incrementan la funcionalidad facial, mejoran la calidad de vida y reducen las sincinesias en pacientes con secuelas de PFP.(AU)

Material and methods: We present the results of a prospective study including a sample of 20 patients with sequelae of PFP (15 women, 5 men) who underwent BTX-A (Botox® or Xeomin®) infiltration. All patients had previously received personalised treatment with neuromuscular retraining. A clinical assessment was performed before BTX-A infiltration and 4 weeks after treatment. The effect of BTX-A on face muscle function, quality of life, and synkinesis was evaluated using the Sunnybrook Facial Grading System (SFGS), the Facial Clinimetric Evaluation (FaCE) questionnaire, and the Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), respectively. Results: Mean SFGS scores increased from 64.8 to 69.9 after BTX-A infiltration (P = .004). Increases were also observed in mean total FaCE scores (from 52.42 to 64.5; P < .001) and the mean score on the FaCE social function subscale (from 61.15 to 78.44; P < .001). Mean SAQ scores decreased from 46.22 to 37.55 after BTX-A infiltration (P = .001). Conclusions: BTX-A infiltration increases face muscle function, improves quality of life, and reduces synkinesis in patients with sequelae of PFP.(AU)

RESUMO

Objetivo Identificar las características clínicas y epidemiológicas de los pacientes con parálisis facial periférica (PFP) en un hospital terciario. Método Es un estudio observacional retrospectivo de pacientes con PFP atendidos en un centro hospitalario de tercer nivel. Se recogieron datos demográficos, etiología, lateralidad, recurrencia, recuperación, clínica oftalmológica, severidad según la escala de House-Brackmann (HB), realización de pruebas electrofisiológicas, los servicios médicos que los atendieron, tratamiento médico y quirúrgico. Resultados Se incluyeron 283 pacientes con PFP, 135 (48%) eran varones y 148 (52%) eran mujeres (p=0,47). Todos con afectación unilateral. La media de edad fue de 54±20 años. La etiología principal fue idiopática en 215 (76%) pacientes. La mediana del tiempo de recuperación fue 7 semanas. La recuperación fue completa en 190 (67%) pacientes. Ciento setenta pacientes (84%) con PFP idiopática tuvieron recuperación completa, frente a 30 (16%) pacientes con PFP no idiopática (p<0,01). El 84% de los pacientes con parálisis grado II de la escala de HB se recuperaron completamente, mientras que con el grado VI de la escala de HB se recuperó solo el 17% (p=0,003). Doscientos veintenueve pacientes (81%) presentaron lagoftalmos. La mayor parte recibieron como tratamiento el cuidado de la superficie ocular 271 (96%) pacientes y de estos 249 (88%) pacientes recibieron corticoterapia oral. Trece pacientes (5%) requirieron cirugía oftalmológica. Conclusiones La PFP es una enfermedad que afecta a todos los rangos de edad, sin predilección por el sexo y unilateral. Su causa principal es idiopática. La recuperación es completa en la mayoría de los casos, siendo más favorable en afectaciones leves e idiopáticas. La mayoría solo requiere tratamiento médico (AU)


Purpose To identify clinical and epidemiological characteristics of patients with peripheral facial palsy (PFP) at a tertiary care hospital. Method This is a retrospective observational study of patients with PFP treated at a tertiary medical center. We gathered demographic data, etiology, laterality, recurrence, recovery, clinical ophthalmology, severity according to the House–Brackmann (HB) scale, electrophysiological tests, medical services attended, medical and surgical treatment. Results Two hundred and eighty-three PFP were included, 135 (48%) were men and 148 (52%) were women (P=.47). All patients had unilateral involvement. The mean age was 54±20 years. The main etiology was idiopathic in 215 (76%) patients. Median recovery time was 7 weeks. Recovery was complete in 190 (67%) patients. One hundred and seventy (84%) patients with idiopathic PFP had complete recovery, versus 30 (16%) patients with non-idiopathic PFP (P<.01). The 84% of patients with HB grade II, recovered completely, while with HB grade VI only 17% recovered (P=.003). Two hundred and twenty-nine patients (81%) had lagophthalmos. The majority received ocular surface care treatment in 271 (96%) patients and of these 249 (88%) patients received oral corticosteroid therapy. Thirteen patients (5%) required ophthalmologic surgery. Conclusions PFP affects all age ranges, without predilection for sex and unilateral. Its main cause is idiopathic. Recovery is complete in most cases, being more favorable in mild and idiopathic affections. Most only require medical treatment (AU)

RESUMO

Objetivos: Durante la pandemia de la COVID-19 se ha descrito una mayor frecuencia de parálisis facial periférica en adultos y niños. La etiología no está clara, ya que la mayoría de los casos ocurrió en pacientes negativos en las pruebas microbiológicas para confirmar infección por el SARS-CoV-2. Pacientes y métodos: Es un estudio retrospectivo de casos pediátricos de parálisis facial periférica atendidos el primer año de la pandemia en el servicio de urgencias de un hospital pediátrico ubicado en una de las zonas con mayor prevalencia de COVID-19 en España. Los casos de este período se comparan con los casos de los tres años anteriores. Resultados: Se incluyó a 29 pacientes. En los tres años anteriores, 24 pacientes presentaron la misma enfermedad, lo que supone que los casos se triplicaron. No se encontraron diferencias entre períodos, salvo que menos pacientes recibieron corticoides durante la pandemia (13,8 frente a 41,6%; p = 0,022). Catorce niños se sometieron a pruebas microbiológicas para detectar infección activa por el SARS-CoV-2 (12 reacciones en cadena de la polimerasa y dos test rápidos de antígenos), y todas fueron negativas. En 13 pacientes se realizó serología, y dos presentaron inmunoglobulina G positiva (15,3%). Conclusión: Se observó un aumento significativo de los casos de parálisis facial periférica en niños y adolescentes durante el primer año de la pandemia, aunque las pruebas microbiológicas no pueden confirmar un vínculo directo con la infección por el SARS-CoV-2 en la mayoría de los casos. Las características de los pacientes no cambiaron entre los dos períodos. La dificultad para acceder a los centros de atención primaria durante la pandemia pudo influir en este aumento.(AU)


Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, an increased frequency of peripheral facial nerve palsy has been described in adults and children. The etiology of the disease during this time remains unclear, since most cases occurred in patients who tested negative for SARS-CoV-2 infection. Patients and methods: Retrospective study of pediatric cases of facial nerve palsy treated during the first year of the pandemic in the emergency department of a children´s hospital located in one of the areas with the highest prevalence of COVID-19 in Spain. Data from this period are compared with cases from the previous three years. Results: Twenty-nine patients with Bell’s palsy were included. Over the previous three years combined, 24 patients presented with the same condition, a more than threefold increase. No clinical differences were found between the groups apart from the fact that fewer patients received corticosteroids during the pandemic (13.8% vs 41.6%; p = 0.022). Fourteen children underwent microbiologic testing for active SARS-CoV-2 infection (12 polymerase chain reaction, two rapid antigen test); all were negative. Thirteen patients received serologic testing, two with a positive IgG (15.3%). Conclusion: A substantial increase in hospital presentations for facial nerve palsy was observed among children and adolescents during the first year of the pandemic, though findings of microbiologic testing cannot confirm a direct link with SARS-CoV-2 infection in most cases. Patient characteristics did not change between the two time periods. Difficulty accessing primary-care facilities during the pandemic in Spain may have played a role in this increase.(AU)

RESUMO

Fonament. La paràlisi facial perifèrica idiopàtica, o paràliside Bell, és la paràlisi facial més freqüent en la poblaciópediàtrica. La clínica pot incloure manifestacions motores,sensitives, autonòmiques i emocionals. Representa undiagnòstic d’exclusió, i és necessari descartar la presènciade signes o símptomes d’alarma que suggereixin una etiologia diferent. El tractament es basa en mesures de protecció i hidratació ocular, i l’ús de corticoesteroides en l’edatpediàtrica és controvertit.Objectiu. Descriure la clínica, el diagnòstic diferencial i eltractament de la paràlisi de Bell, analitzant l’evidència disponible actualment sobre l’ús de corticoesteroides.Mètode. Es fa una revisió bibliogràfica.Resultats. Els cinc treballs analitzats, incloent-hi dues revisions sistemàtiques, suggereixen la manca de benefici delscorticoesteroides, ja que no observen que tinguin impacteen la recuperació experimentada pels pacients pediàtrics.Destaca, però, l’absència d’estudis prospectius aleatoritzats, de manera que l’evidència prové de treballs amb graud’evidència baix.Conclusions. La paràlisi de Bell en infants presenta taxes derecuperació espontània molt elevades (85-97%), tot i queles seqüeles també són possibles. Actualment, el tractament es basa en mesures generals. És dubtosa la necessitat d’ús de corticoesteroides, a l’espera de la publicació denous treballs els pròxims anys. (AU)

Describir la clínica, el diagnóstico diferencial y el tratamiento de la parálisis de Bell, analizando la evidencia disponibleactualmente sobre el uso de corticosteroides. Método. Se realiza una revisión bibliográfica.Resultados. Los cinco trabajos analizados, incluyendo dos revisiones sistemáticas, sugieren la falta de beneficio de los corticosteroides, pues no observan impacto de estos en la recuperaciónexperimentada por los pacientes pediátricos. Destaca, no obstante, la ausencia de estudios prospectivos aleatorizados, por loque la evidencia proviene de trabajos con un grado de evidenciabajo.Conclusiones. La parálisis de Bell en niños presenta tasas de recuperación espontánea muy elevadas (85-97%), aunque las secuelastambién son posibles. Actualmente, el tratamiento se basa enmedidas generales. Es dudosa la necesidad de uso de corticosteroides, a la espera de la publicación de nuevos trabajos en lospróximos años. (AU)


Background. Idiopathic peripheral facial palsy, or Bell’s palsy, isthe most common facial paralysis in the pediatric population. Theclinical presentation can include motor, sensory, autonomic, andemotional manifestations. It represents a diagnosis of exclusionand thus it is always necessary to rule out the presence of alarmsigns or symptoms that would suggest a different etiology.Treatment is based on eye protection and hydration measures,while the application of corticosteroids in children is controversial.Objective. To describe the clinical characteristics, differential diagnosis, and treatment of Bell’s palsy, including a review of the available evidence on the use of corticosteroids.Method. Literature review.Results. The five studies analysed, including two systematic reviews, suggest the lack of benefit of corticosteroids, since an impact on recovery experienced by pediatric patients has not beendocumented. However, the absence of prospective randomizedstudies limits the validity of the findings, since the only data available originates from studies with a low level of evidence.Conclusions. Bell’s palsy in children presents high recovery rates(85-97%), although sequelae are possible. Current treatment isbased in general supportive measures. The need of corticoids isstill a controversial issue and further research is needed. (AU)

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to assess the effects of botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) infiltration on face muscle function, synkinesis, and quality of life in patients with sequelae of peripheral facial palsy (PFP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We present the results of a prospective study including a sample of 20 patients with sequelae of PFP (15 women, 5 men) who underwent BTX-A (Botox® or Xeomin®) infiltration. All patients had previously received personalised treatment with neuromuscular retraining. A clinical assessment was performed before BTX-A infiltration and 4weeks after treatment. The effect of BTX-A on face muscle function, quality of life, and synkinesis was evaluated using the Sunnybrook Facial Grading System (SFGS), the Facial Clinimetric Evaluation (FaCE) questionnaire, and the Synkinesis Assessment Questionnaire (SAQ), respectively. RESULTS: Mean SFGS scores increased from 64.8 to 69.9 after BTX-A infiltration (P=.004). Increases were also observed in mean total FaCE scores (from 52.42 to 64.5; P<.001) and the mean score on the FaCE social function subscale (from 61.15 to 78.44; P<.001). Mean SAQ scores decreased from 46.22 to 37.55 after BTX-A infiltration (P=.001). CONCLUSIONS: BTX-A infiltration increases face muscle function, improves quality of life, and reduces synkinesis in patients with sequelae of PFP.

RESUMO

Peripheral facial nerve palsy (PFNP) has a substantial physical, psychological and social impact on patients. Neurophysiological study quantifies the degree of nerve injury and assesses prognosis. We present the case of a woman with a 3-month history of left PFNP after a dental implant, with facial functionality of 85.5% and with a normal neurophysiological study performed according to the standard protocol. By modifying the technique centred on the orbicularis oris in its upper portion, the procedure showed an asymmetry of amplitude and signs of denervation. This allowed us to detect a deficit and differentiate a possible asymmetry or simulation by the patient.

RESUMO

INTRODUCTION: This paper analyses the correlations between scores on scales assessing impairment, psychological distress, disability, and quality of life in patients with peripheral facial palsy (PFP). MATERIAL AND METHODS: We conducted a retrospective cross-sectional study including 30 patients in whom PFP had not resolved completely. We used tools for assessing impairment (Sunnybrook Facial Grading System [FGS]), psychological distress (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale [HADS]), disability (Facial Disability Index [FDI]), and quality of life (Facial Clinimetric Evaluation [FaCE] scale). RESULTS: We found no correlations between FGS and HADS scores, or between FGS and FDI social function scores. However, we did find a correlation between FGS and FDI physical function scores (r=0.54; P<.01), FDI total score (r=0.4; P<.05), FaCE total scores (ρ=0.66; P<.01), and FaCE social function scores (ρ=0.5; P<.01). We also observed a correlation between HADS Anxiety scores and FDI physical function (r=-0.47; P<.01), FDI social function (r=-0.47; P<.01), FDI total (r=-0.55; P<.01), FaCE total (ρ=-0.49; P<.01), and FaCE social scores (ρ=-0.46; P<.05). Significant correlations were also found between HADS Depression scores and FDI physical function (r=-0.61; P<.01), FDI social function (r=-0.53; P<.01), FDI total (r=-0.66; P<.01), FaCE total (ρ=-0.67; P<.01), and FaCE social scores (ρ=-0.68; P<.01), between FDI physical function scores and FaCE total scores (ρ=0.87; P<.01) and FaCE social function (ρ=0.74; P<.01), between FDI social function and FaCE total (ρ=0.66; P<.01) and FaCE social function scores (ρ=0.72; P<.01), and between FDI total scores and FaCE total (ρ = 0,87; P<.01) and FaCE social function scores (ρ=0.84; P<.01). CONCLUSION: In our sample, patients with more severe impairment displayed greater physical and global disability and poorer quality of life without significantly higher levels of social disability and psychological distress. Patients with more disability experienced greater psychological distress and had a poorer quality of life. Lastly, patients with more psychological distress also had a poorer quality of life.

Se realizó un estudio experimental en pacientes mayores de 19 años, con Parálisis Facial Periférica, que fueron atendidos en el Policlínico Romárico Oro Peña del municipio de Puerto Padre, provincia de Las Tunas; en el período comprendido entre enero y diciembre del año 2011. La muestra quedó conformada por 40 pacientes que cumplieron con los criterios de inclusión establecidos, a los que se les aplicó el método acupuntural, con el objetivo de evaluar la efectividad del mismo en el tratamiento de esta enfermedad. Los puntos de acupuntura utilizados fueron: Extra 1, 2, 3; Estómago 2, 4, 6, 7; Vaso Concepción 24; Vaso Gobernador 26 y Vesícula Biliar 14. Se aplicó tonificación en el lado sano y dispersión de la energía en el lado de la parálisis. Se recogió la información a través de micro-historias clínicas, donde se incluyeron todas las variables de manera independiente. Los datos se analizaron a través de la estadística descriptiva y el análisis porcentual. Se concluyó que la enfermedad predominó en el sexo femenino y el grupo etáreo de 40 a 49 años; la exposición al frío y/o al calor resultó el factor desencadenante que más incidió; el mayor número de pacientes presentó una evolución clínica favorable; solo se presentaron dos efectos adversos relativos al uso de la acupuntura, demostrando la inocuidad del tratamiento (AU)


An experimental study was carried out in patients older than 19 years with peripheral facial paralysis assisted at Romárico Oro Polyclinic, from January to December 2011. The sample was constituted by 40 patients that had the established inclusion criteria, the acupunctural treatment was applied to these patients with the objective of evaluating the effectiveness of acupuncture in the treatment of this illness. The used acupuncture points were Extra 1, 2, 3; S-2, S-4, S-6, S-7; REN-24; DU-26; GB-14, some tonification was applied to the healthy side of the face and dispersion of the energy on the side of the paralysis. The information was picked up through clinical micro-stories where all the variables in an independent way were included. It was concluded that; the illness prevailed in the female sex and the age group from 40 to 49 years; cold and/or heat exposure were the most incidence onset factors; the biggest number of patients presented a favorable clinical evolution; only two adverse effects were presented to the use of the acupuncture, demonstrating the inocuous of the treatment (AU)

RESUMO

El síndrome de Ramsay-Hunt es una afección rara, caracterizada por parálisis facial periférica, erupción en el pabellón auricular ipsilateral y compromiso vestibular-coclear. Es producido por la reactivación del virus varicela zoster a nivel del ganglio geniculado. Representa la segunda causa más frecuente de parálisis facial periférica atraumática. Presentamos un caso de síndrome de Ramsay-Hunt en una niña de 12 años, sin antecedentes previos relevantes, que manifestaba una erupción herpética en la zona auricular derecha acompañada de otalgia aguda y parálisis facial periférica. Fue tratada con aciclovir y corticoides, evolucionando satisfactoriamente. El síndrome de Ramsay-Hunt es una entidad poco frecuente en pediatría y debe sospecharse en niños con parálisis facial periférica, eritema, vesículas y/o dolor auricular. El tratamiento precoz con aciclovir y corticoides puede mejorar la evolución de la parálisis facial periférica.


Ramsay-Hunt syndrome is a rare affection characterized by peripheral facial paralysis, skin eruption in the auricular canal and cochleovestibular symptoms. It is produced by varicella-zoster virus reactivation at the geniculate ganglia. We report a case of Ramsay-Hunt syndrome in a healthy 12-year-old girl who presented a herpetic eruption on the right ear accompanied by acute otalgia and peripheral facial nerve palsy. Ramsay-Hunt syndrome is an infrequent disease in the pediatric population and it should be suspected in children with peripheral facial paralysis, erythema, vesicles and/or auricular pain. Early treatment with acyclovir and steroids could improve the recovery rate of facial nerve palsy.

RESUMO

Ramsay-Hunt Syndrome (RHS) is a rare affection characterized by peripheral facial paralysis (PFP), skin eruption in the auricular canal and cochleovestibular symptoms. It is produced by varicella-zoster virus (VZV) reactivation at the geniculate ganglia. We report four patients between 3 and 17 years-old with RHS. Earache was the first symptom in two cases and three had cochleovestibular compromise. The direct immunofluorescence from the vesicular lesión was positive for VZV in two of them. All patients received treatment with aeyelovir and in three cases, this was associated with steroids. Three children had complete resolution of the PFP. RHS is an infrequent disease in the pediatric population and it should be suspected in children with PFP, erythema, vesicles and/or auricular pain. Early treatment with aeyelovir therapy could improve the recovery rate of facial nerve palsy.


El síndrome de Ramsay-Hunt (SRH) corresponde a una inusual afección caracterizada por parálisis facial periférica (PFP), erupción en el pabellón auricular ipsilateral y compromiso cocleo-vestibular. Es producida por reactivación del virus varicela zoster (VVZ) a nivel del ganglio geniculado. Se reporta una serie de cuatro pacientes entre 3 y 17 años de edad con SRH. La otalgia fue el primer síntoma en dos casos, tres de ellos presentaron sintomatología vestibular periférica y uno déficit cócleo-vestibular. La inmunofluorescencia directa de hisopado de lesión vesicular fue positiva para VVZ en dos niños. Todos recibieron tratamiento con aciclovir y tres recibieron además corticoesteroides. Tres niños tuvieron recuperación clínica completa. El SRH es una entidad poco frecuente en pediatría y debe sospecharse en niños con PFP, eritema, vesículas y/o dolor auricular, ya que el tratamiento precoz con aciclovir pudiera mejorar la evolución de la PFP.
