heal.abstractThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the ability of electroneuronography (ENOG), also called evoked electromyography (EEMG), and facial nerve latency testing (FNLT) to assess the prognosis of facial nerve palsy, using the House-Brackmann facial nerve grading system as criterion. From 1988 to 1994 these tests were employed at the ORL Clinic of the University of Ioannina in 250 patients with idiopathic facial nerve palsy. The ENOG test results indicated that when the amplitude of the compound muscle action potentials ranged from 51% to 95% of the normal value, 97% of the patients achieved complete functional recovery (grade I) within at least 2 months. When the muscle action potential decreased to a value below 51% of normal values, prognosis for recovery was considerably worse. FNLT test results indicated that as the latency time extended, the recovery grade of the facial nerve worsened. When latency time was within the normal range (group A patients), about 92% of patients had complete functional recovery. In contrast all patients having either a very extended latency time or unable to be monitored (groups C and D) demonstrated incomplete functional recoveries that ranged from grade II to grade VI. Comparing each test with the House-Brackmann facial nerve grading system, we ascertained that the percent accuracy for ENOG was 97.6%, and that for FNLT was 94.4%.en
