Abstract
- A 37 years old man who suffered from right facial palsy was treated successfully with the application of both magnetic resonance diagnostic analyser (MRA) and stellate Ganglion block (SGB). SGB is effective in treatment of facial palsy resulting from abolishing cerebral vascular spasm and increasing cerebral blood flow. Short daily period of exposure to appropriate MRA can also modulate the balance of autonomic nervous system that are responsible for sympathetic overflow resulting the edema and poor circulation on the course of the facial nerve. It was seemed that recovery of facial palsy by application of both MRA and SGB was faster than by SGB only.
