This retrospective observational study is designed to assess the response to treatment with ocular acupuncture and its relative factors, in terms of diplopia status, ocular motility differences, and clinical features, in ocular motor nerve palsy patients. During this study, a retrospective data collection will be carried out using the information contained in the medical record of aimed patients, provided that the treatment with ocular acupuncture.
Bell's palsy is defined as a facial nerve palsy without any other known cause. The common practice for this disease consists of the use of oral steroids. Such treatment can cause harm to people who have disabilities or prior conditions such as pregnancies, diabetes, obesity and/or high blood pressure. While the use of intratympanic injection for sudden sensory hearing loss is well rehearsed in many practices, similar management of facial nerve palsy due to Bell's phenomenon is rare and a few researches have been conducted regarding the subject. In this research we suggest intratympanic injections for these patients as a treatment for Bell's palsy.
Stridor is a respiratory noise caused by partial obstruction of the large airways at the level of the pharynx, larynx and/or trachea. The second most common cause of stridor is vocal cord paralysis. Awake nasolaryngoscopyn (ANL) is regarded as the gold standard for the diagnosis of laryngomalacia. However, ANL has some drawbacks as it may cause discomfort for the patient and the laryngeal view may be obscured due to patient movement or anatomical variations. Ultrasound (US) is a noninvasive, painless, radiation free, well tolerated imaging technique. Evaluation of the dynamic characteristics of the glottis by US revealed perfect reliability in comparison to nasolryngoscopy suggesting that US can be useful in the assessment of laryngeal adduction. The investigator hypothesize that laryngeal US can be an accurate and reliable adjunct in the diagnosis of functional and anatomical causes of stridor and dysphonia in the pediatric population.
