title: [Electrophysiological evaluation of facial paralysis].
abstract: The purpose of this article is to present a new electrophysiological evaluation method to study facial nerve function. This technique studies the afferent sensory pathways and the efferent motor fibres. The study of the various parameters of those two functions allows us to draw certain conclusions relating to the prognosis and localization of facial nerve lesions.
