“…The efficacy of HFA is now unanimously confirmed. 4,6,16,17,23,28 The present study underlines the main features of recovery: protection of the eyes; often insufficient eye closure or blinking; absence of musculus frontalis movements; 26 and a better outcome for the peribuccal musculature. Caution is required when drawing parallels among reported series because of grading differences.…”

The HFA offers good functional results. Of the 28 cases evaluated, nine had House and Brackmann Grade III, 17 Grade IV, and only two Grade V at 18 months. When the new technique of side-to-end hemihypoglossal-facial nerve attachment was used, there was considerable reduction, if not complete disappearance, of lingual morbidity and the facial functional results were constant and satisfactory: there were five patients with House and Brackmann Grade III and one with Grade IV, and their mean percentage of facial mobility was 43.3%.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of Automated Facial Image Analysis (AFA) to detect changes in facial motion after Botox injections in patients with facial nerve disorders accompanied by abnormal muscle activity. Eight subjects received Botox for oral to ocular synkinesis (n = 6), ocular to oral synkinesis (n = 1), and/or depressor anguli oris overactivity (n = 3). Subjects were video-recorded during 2 directed facial action tasks before and after Botox treatment. AFA measurement and Facial Grading System (FGS) scores were used to evaluate the effects of Botox. After Botox, AFA detected a decrease in abnormal movements of the eyelids in all patients with oral to ocular synkinesis, a decrease in oral commissure movement for the patients with ocular to oral synkinesis, and an increase in oral commissure movement in all patients with depressor overactivity. The FGS scores failed to demonstrate any change in facial movement for the case of ocular to oral synkinesis and for 2 cases of depressor overactivity. AFA enables recognition of subtle changes in facial movement that may not be adequately measured by observer based ratings of facial function.
