title: [Surgical injury of the temporo-frontal branch of the facial nerve. Anatomical study and clinical consequences].
abstract: The frequency of frontal paralysis due to surgical trauma of the temporo-frontal nerve seems to be increasing due to the growing number of operations in the temporo-frontal area and the complexity of surgical techniques. A series of 20 anatomical dissections demonstrates the course of the temporo-frontal nerve. Frontal myomectomy of the healthy side to allow facial equilibration seems to us to be the best technique of reconstructive surgery for definitive frontal paralysis.
