Abstract

The human face is crucial in social interaction and demonstrates cues of health, trustworthiness, emotions, and much more. A peripheral facial palsy (PFP) refers to a lower motor neuron lesion of the facial nerve and, due to its anatomy, could have many etiologies, such as traumatic, idiopathic, infectious, and oncological. Approximately 30% are left with long-term sequelae and 4% with severe dysfunction. For facial plastic surgeons, a PFP represents a great reconstructive challenge. It is a debilitating condition with functional (corneal exposure, epiphora, oral incompetence, and nasal obstruction, among others) and aesthetic sequelae that often result in physical, psychosocial, communicative, and quality-of-life losses. It remains the question how we measure the effects of the treatment of patients with a facial palsy, since there are many variety in cosmetic appreciation, surgical goals, patients’ needs, and measuring tools. The aims of this narrative review are: 1) to give an overview of conservative measuring and classification tools, 2) clinician-graded instruments versus patient-graded instruments, and 3) which domains should be considered when assessing effects of our treatment.

Nach der Katheterablation von Vorhofflimmern kommt es bei etwa einem Drittel der Patienten zu Rezidiven, meist binnen eines Jahres. Wie sich spätere Rückfälle auf die Erfolgschancen einer erneuten Ablation auswirken, haben Schweizer Kardiologen erforscht.

CME: 2 Punkte

Das Karpaltunnelsyndrom ist die häufigste Kompressionsneuropathie peripherer Nerven. Obwohl die Anamnese mit dem nächtlichen Einschlafen der Hand (Brachialgia parästhetica nocturna) sehr typisch ist, ist eine klinisch-neurologische Untersuchung und Elektroneurografie in manchen Fällen auch eine Neurosonografie erforderlich. Im Anfangsstadium sind konservative Maßnahmen (Handgelenksschiene, Ergotherapie) empfehlenswert. Bei nicht Ansprechen der konservativen Therapie oder Auftreten von neurologischen Ausfällen ist eine Dekompression des N. medianus am Karpaltunnel indiziert.
