title: [Facial Palsy: lack of electrical nerve excitability in the presence of physiological nerve function (author's transl)].
abstract: In facial palsy, return of mimetic movement can be preceded or accompanied by temporary pathologic decrease or absence of nerve excitability. Fifteen patients are reported in whom electromyography was able to determine reversibility of nerve lesion and prevent unnecessary nerve decompression.
