“…Ear-nose and throat-guided rehabilitation measures include dietary modifications, logopedic treatment and electrical stimulation therapy. 82 Corticosteroid therapy has been shown to accelerate spontaneous recovery after Bell’s palsy, 83 and multiple authors advocate a short course of high-dose steroids such as prednisone if airway edema is suspected. 5,7,15,24,26,28,33,46,50,53 However, there are no controlled studies of the benefits of these treatments on neurapraxic patients after surgery.…”

Isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy (HNP), or neurapraxia, a rare postoperative complication after airway management, causes ipsilateral tongue deviation, dysarthria, and dysphagia. We reviewed the pathophysiological causes of hypoglossal nerve injury and discuss the associated clinical and procedural characteristics of affected patients. Furthermore, we identified procedural factors potentially affecting HNP recovery duration and propose several measures that may reduce the risk of HNP. While HNP can occur after a variety of surgeries, most cases in the literature were reported after orthopedic and otolaryngology operations, typically in males. The diagnosis is frequently missed by the anesthesia care team in the recovery room due to the delayed symptomatic onset and often requires neurology and otolaryngology evaluations to exclude serious etiologies. Signs and symptoms are self-limited, with resolution occurring within 2 months in 50% of patients, and 80% resolving within 4 months. Currently, there are no specific preventive or therapeutic recommendations. We found 69 cases of HNP after procedural airway management reported in the literature from 1926–2013.

Some interesting developments, aspects, and problems concerning botulinum toxin treatment of disorders of the head and neck region have recently been reported. These new approaches are discussed in this review. They include applications into mimic muscles (prevention of scar formation, treatment of depressions), into laryngeal muscles, and into the upper esophagus. In addition, treatment of different forms of headache and tinnitus as well as applications in the autonomic nervous system are addressed. Some of these options will shortly be put into clinical use, while others have to be checked further in clinical studies.
