The study of facial nerve becomes extremely complex for your anatomy and pathophysiology. Despite the diagnostic tests present some limitations are of particular interest in guiding therapy, prognosis and recovery of facial nerve paralysis. A good knowledge of facial nerve anatomy is very important to avoid its inadvertent injury during procedures such as maxillofacial and other related with the oral cavity (Myckatyn & Mackinnon, 2004).

Zbaren et al. report that “routine END should be performed to all primary SCC of parotid gland” [12], whereas Kelley and Spiro state that “END is an appropriate management for patient with facial nerve paralysis, extra parotid tumour extension, old age, perilymphatic invasion and the high tumour grade” (Kelley & Spiro, 1996).

Unilateral peripheral facial paralysis (UPFP) is aform of facial nerve paralysis caused by dysfunction of the facial nerve system and subsequently, incompetency of facial muscle control at affected locations. UPFP patients can perform with disorders of facial appearance and loss of facial expression. The incidence of UPFP is estimated to be 20–25 cases per 100,000persons annually (Shaw, Nazir, and Bone 2005). Anumber of facial functions of the patients can be lost with facial nerves affected by UPFP, such as blinking and closing the eyes, smiling, frowning, lacrimation, salivation, flaring nostrils or raising eyebrows. It would seriously affect the daily life and social communications of UPFP patients with such loss of facial functions and subsequent facial abnormalities. Treatments for UPFP include steroids, antivirals, physiotherapy, surgery and alternative medicines (Finsterer 2008). The dosage and duration of the above treatments can be decided by UPFP degree assessment (Dulguerov etal. 1999).
