MeSH Heading: Facial Nerve Injuries
Tree Number(s): C07.465.299.500; C10.292.200.500; C10.292.319.500; C10.900.300.218.300; C26.915.300.400.300
Unique ID: D020220
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020220
Scope Note: Traumatic injuries to the facial nerve. This may result in FACIAL PARALYSIS, decreased lacrimation and salivation, and loss of taste sensation in the anterior tongue. The nerve may regenerate and reform its original pattern of innervation, or regenerate aberrantly, resulting in inappropriate lacrimation in response to gustatory stimuli (e.g., crocodile tears) and other syndromes.
