title: [Laryngological experiences in treatment of Bell's palsy].
abstract: Between 1990-2000 15 cases of unilateral Bell paresis of the VIIth nerve were treated using local injection of hydrocortisone in the region of the foramen stylomastoideum. Paralelly were administered iontophoresis, galvanisation of the facial mimic muscles together with vasodilating drugs. Early introduced treatment gave complete return of facialis function. The usefulness of treatment monitoring with topodiagnostic tests is stressed.
