Traumatic facial palsy mainly occures by temporal bone fracture. Facial palsy caused by traumatic temporal bone fracture corresponds to gu-an-wa-sha (口眼?斜)of oriental medicine. Functional disorder of an auditory organ corresponds to yi-rong(耳聾) and hyun-hoon(眩暈) of oriental medicine. In general, everyone consider surgical operation first of all, in the case of having traumatic facial nerve paralysis.
