| 英文描述 | Trauma to the facial nerve can result in complete or partial facial paresis or paralysis, with ear, eyelid, lip and nose involvement. Local injury, such as injury to the buccal branch can lead to local paresis. Most common in horses tabled for surgery without proper padding and cattle which get their heads trapped in stanchions. Dx by history and clinical signs. Food can be caught in the buccal space causing facial swelling. If function is not recovered, contracture may be a sequelae on the affected side. |
