title: [Facial paralysis. Result of our electroneurographic studies].
abstract: The Electroneurography (ENoG) is one of the most employed electrodiagnostical techniques in the appraisal of acute facial palsies (AFP). Since 1989 we have to resort systematically to this exploration in our ENT-Department, which task previously was province of the Neurophysiological Service. On accordance with the exam's results we then express the prognostic, regarding the seriousness of the paralysis, and so settle the indication or the abstention for the rehabilitative treatment. We report here a review of 92 APF's seen during 1990 and consider their evolutive course which is compared with that in advance supposed to be. In the light of our final results we venture to say that ENoG, in our hands, is a good prognostical indicator and also is an adequate standard of judgement in order to recommend the rehabilitative management of AFP.
