“…The incidence of peripheral facial palsy is 23–35 in 100,000 cases ( 1 ). Half of all cases of peripheral facial palsy cases are idiopathic (Bell´s palsy) and the remainder are due to tumor, trauma, injury during surgery, otitis and Ramsay Hunt syndrome ( 2 - 4 ). Patients exhibiting incomplete recovery of facial palsy suffer from facial muscle weakness, contracture, hyper-kinesis, hyperlacrimation, atrophy and synkinesis ( 1 , 5 - 7 ).…”

“…Synkinesis is an abnormal involuntary facial movement that occurs with a voluntary movement of a different facial muscle group ( 4 , 7 - 11 ). Synkinesis begins 3 to 4 months after regeneration of facial nerve palsy and continues for up to 2 years ( 6 - 8 ).…”

The changes presented in the hearing threshold fit within the classically described 15-dB attenuation provided by the stapedial reflex. Although no intervention was undertaken in this particular case, some patients with unremitting stapedial synkinesis might benefit from sectioning of the stapedial muscle. Thus, consideration should be made for audiometric evaluation with and without facial muscle contraction in the evaluation of individuals with synkinetic facial movement.

Facial synkinesis is involuntary contractions of unrelated groups of facial muscles that occur during voluntary movement. The article presents a review of scientific literature of the problem pathological synkinesis as a complication of facial neuropathy. The mechanism of their development and the main theories of occurrence are described. We describе the types (patterns) of synkinesis, methods for theirs detecting, description of clinical manifestations, methods of instrumental diagnostics. We reviewed approaches to treatment and rehabilitation, the main types of conservative and surgical treatment.
