ARTICLE Assessment of Patients with Peripheral Facial Paralysis
ABSTRACT Objective: We aim to systematically analyze the sociodemographic and medical records of patients presenting to our clinic diagnosed with peripheral facial palsy (PFP). Materials and Methods: Between January 2020 and December 2023, we retrospectively examined the sociodemographic and medical records of patients diagnosed with PFP and treated and followed up in our clinic. The study included fifty patients diagnosed with PFP and excluded those with central facial paralysis. Data obtained from patients' medical records included demographic information, habits, etiological factors, comorbid conditions, time of hospital admission, season of presentation, predominant symptom, paralysis degree expressed through House-Brackman scoring, affected area of the face, audiologic findings, recurrence situations, and hematological and blood glucose results at the time of admission.
