| Abstract: | It is agreed that some cases of facial nerve palsy are surgical emergencies. Other cases are controversial. The best available electrodiagnostic test is 48 to 72 hours late in noting changes. An early test for axonotmesis is unavailable. Immediate consultation with a specialist qualified to deal with the problem is urged. |
