etiopathogenesis and grade of Bell's palsy. Patients and methods Twenty-nine consecutive …

The facial nerve emerges out of skull through the stylomastoid foramen located between
styloid process and mastoid process. Unilateral paralysis of facial nerve is known as Bell's …

Nadbath facial nerve block is the most common procedure to anesthetize the facial nerve at
stylomastoid foramen in intraocular surgeries, but it is associated with complications. Also …

OBJECTIVE Stylomastoid foramen (SMF) puncture with radiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a
minimally invasive therapy for hemifacial spasm (HFS) with notable therapeutic outcomes …

Background: Considering the tortuous course of the facial canal that houses the facial nerve,
the stylomastoid artery and the homonymous vein, its morphological features are of great …

Objectives This study aimed to investigate the morphometric features of the stylomastoid
