Our experience with Freilinger's method for dynamic correction of facial paralysis.

Eight patients with unilateral facial paralysis of differing aetiology and duration were treated according to Freilinger's method, which includes cross-face nerve grafting and six to eight months later, transposition of a denervated (temporal) muscle flap to the nasolabial area. The end of the cross-face nerve graft is inserted into the muscle flap. Our experience and results with this technique are discussed. It is clear that the combination of cross-face nerve grafting and transposition of a denervated muscle flap is a valid principle. However, a muscle with a greater excursion and one that is easier to denervate is to be preferred to the temporal muscle.

Off-response: its clinical incidence in very young children.

Off-responses to repetitive photic stimulation may be of various shapes. In particular, very young children with respiratory distress showed a typical off-response. This reaction is rather peculiar; it consists of a triphasic, very sharp wave followed by a depolarization of longer duration. The latency is about 200 msec. This off-response seems to be the reaction of an immature brain.

Reliability of Doppler sonography in extracranial cerebro-vascular stenosis.

Of our patients who underwent quantitative Doppler sonography (Haemato-Tacho-Graphy), 382 underwent carotid angiography and 61 vertebral artery angiography. The reliability of the method proved to be between 90 and 95 percent for carotid as well as for vertebral arteries. The HTG proved to be a useful addition to angiography in patients with extracranial cerebro-vascular stenosis.

Cortical and cervical somatosensory evoked responses in demyelinating diseases.

In six patients suffering from a multifocal neurological disease of the demyelinating type, a somatosensory evoked response was analyzed in the cortical and cervical are after stimulating the right index finger and the right nervus suralis. The results of the investigation with this method indicate that localization of the central nervous system pathology seems to lie within the realms of possibility, in which case this method will be a useful addition to the tools used to evaluate quantitatively the results of different treatments in this type of disease.
