Abstract

Crossed facial nerve grafts for treating unilateral permanent facial palsy in association with hemifacial microsomia were studied in 18 patients, ages ranging from 2 months to 10 years. Patients were divided into groups according to the age at the time of indication of surgery. It is concluded that crossed nerve grafting for facial palsy associated with hemifacial microsomia appears to be an adequate procedure especially when the surgery is indicated soon after birth.
