안면신경마비(facial nerve paralysis)는 주로 편측성으로 발생하는 안면신경장애에 의한 안면표정근의 마비를 뜻한다. 이러한 안면신경마비는 중추성 안면신경마비와 말초성 안면신경마비 두 가지로 나뉜다. 안면신경마비의 증상으로는 이환측, 구각부의 처짐 및 침을 흘리는 등 입 주위의 증상이 있어 안면표정의 변화를 일으킨다.[1] 본 논문은 사진을 입력 받아 얼굴영역에서 입 특징점을 추출하여 입력 받은 데이터가 안면신경마비 환자인지 아닌지 판단하고자 한다.

Herbal medicines are widely used to treat a variety of human diseases. However, therapeutic effect of herbal medicine on the canine facial nerve paralysis (FNP) has not been investigated. This study examined therapeutic effects of Oyaksungisan on the canine FNP. Ten dogs with the induced canine FNP were equally divided into the control and an herbal medicine-treated groups (5 dogs, Oyaksungisan-treated group), respectively. No treatment was given to the control group. In the Oyaksungisan-treated group, Oyaksungisan was administered orally, twice per day for 2 weeks (50 mg/kg) after inducing FNP. Significant differences in the clinical scores were detected between the Oyaksungisan-treated and control groups on day 14 (p < 0.05). The serum creatine kinase (CK) activities in the Oyaksungisan-treated group showed a tendency to decrease but there was no significant difference compared with those of the control group. In conclusion, Oyaksungisan was effective for the induced canine FNP.

Complete facial nerve palsy is emotionally and physiologically devastating condition. Management of patients with the facial nerve palsy poses significant challenges to achieve the goal of returning patients to their premorbid state. We experienced a case of iatrogenic facial nerve palsy in a 66 year-old patient, who was diagnosed as facial nerve schwannoma with previous incisional biopsy. The author describes the management of this patient and reviews the literature.

Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(BSSRO) of the mandible is an essential and commonly used procedure to correct dentofacial deformities and malocclusion. The possible complications associated with BSSRO include inferior alveolar nerve injury, bleeding, temporomandibular disorder, unfavorable fractures, and clinical relapse. The incidence of facial nerve palsy after orthognathic surgery recently reported is 0.1%. The probable etiologies have included facial nerve compression, complete or incomplete nerve transection, nerve traction, and nerve ischemia from anesthetic injection. Postoperative facial palsy is one of the most serious complications because it reduces the quality of life and significantly reduces social interaction. The case of a 24-year-old patient who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy is described. The medical records and postoperative photographs were reviewed in detail to collect information on the clinical course, treatment, and outcomes.

A 6-year-old, castrated male Shih-tzu dog was presented due to left side facial paralysis with head tilt. Neurological examination revealed absence of facial sensation, menance response, and palpebral reflex on the left side. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), intracranial intra-arachnoid cyst (IIAC) was noted. The dog was poor response to steroid and dieuretic therapy. Based on characteristic historical and clinical findings, and excluding of other causes of acute facial nerve dysfunction, the dog was tentatively diagnosed as idiopathic facial paralysis. The clinical signs were improved gradually after acupuncture therapy with bee venom. Eight weeks after initial acupuncture with bee venom, the patient recovered sensory and neurological facial signs. This case report demonstrates that bee venom acupuncture for an idiopathic facial paralysis could be useful in a dog.

Although canine facial nerve paralysis(FNP) occurs similarly in humans, there is no properly recognized therapy using Western medicine for idiopathic causes. To elucidate therapeutic measures by acupuncture(AP) on canine FNP, we examined the therapeutic effect of injection-AP on the artificially induced canine FNP. Twelve dogs on artificially induced canine FNP were divided into a control group(4 dogs), an experimental dexamethasone-treated group(dexamethasone group, 4 dogs) and an experimental bee venom-treated group(apitoxin group, 4 dogs). Saline (1 ml) was intramuscularly injected into the head muscle after the induction of FNP in the control group. On the other hand, injection-AP with dexamethasone was performed on such acupoints as LI04, LI20, ST02, ST07, TH17, SI18, GB03 and GB34, twice per week after induction of FNP in the dexamethasone group. In addition, injection-AP with $100{\mu}g$ of apitoxin was performed on the same acupoints as the dexamethasone group twice per week after the induction of FNP in the apitoxin group, respectively. The changes of the clinical symptoms of FNP with each treatment during the experimental period were recorded by using clinical scores, respectively. The changes of serum creatine kinase(CK) activities along with each treatment were determined using an autoanalyzer. The significant differences of clinical scores were detected on day 14(p<0.05) in the apitoxin and dexamethasone groups, compared with those in the control group, respectively. However, significant difference was not detected between the apitoxin and dexamethasone groups. Significant differences of serum CK activities were detected on day 7(p<0.05) and day 14(p<0.05) in the dexamethasone and apitoxin groups, compared with those in the control group, respectively. However, significant difference was not detected between the dexamethasone and apitoxin groups. In condition, injection-APs with apitoxin and dexamethasone were all effective for treatment of canine FNP and the therapeutic effect by injection-AP with apitoxin was similar to that of injection-AP with dexamethasone.

Bell's palsy is an acute-onset unilateral peripheral facial neuropathy. For patients with sequelae of facial paresis, the successful rehabilitation of fully edentulous arches is challenging. This case report described the treatment procedures and clinical considerations to fabricate complete dentures of a patient who showed unilateral displacement of mandible, unilateral chewing pattern and parafunctional jaw movement due to sequelae of Bell's palsy. Gothic arch tracing was used to record reproducible centric relation and lingualized occlusion was performed to provide freedom to move between centric relation and the patient's habitual functional area in fabricating satisfactory dentures in terms of function and esthetics.

A 4-year-old Thoroughbred gelding was referred to Chonbuk National University Animal Medical Center with inability to blink and drooping lower lip on the right side after traumatic accident. Through clinical examination, the horse was diagnosed as right-sided facial nerve paralysis. Acupuncture treatment was performed to treat the facial nerve paralysis. The selected acupoints were ST3, ST5, ST7, ST9, SI17, CV24 and Yintang. At the end of the $2^{nd}$ weeks of electroacupuncture treatment, the palpebral reflex was normally recovered. One month after the therapy, symmetry of the face was completely accomplished without the drooping lower lip. This case shows that electroacupuncture should be considered as an effective therapy for the traumatic facial nerve paralysis in horse.

Objectives : To report the patient bilateral facial palsy, because it is unusual. Methods : One patient with bilateral facial palsy was selected. Herbal medicine(Cheunggansoyosan, bubidongyeom-2) was administered and acupuncture was applied for twice a day in 73 days. Facial function was evaluated by House-Brackmann scale, Yanagihara's scale and Standardization of muscular paralysis. Results : Cheunggansoyosan, bubidongyeom-2 and acupuncture treatment improved facial function after 73 days of treatment. Adverse effects were not reported. Conclusions : This study shows that the Korean medicine treatment was effective in improving bilateral facial palsy.
