Abstract
Since steroid therapy has been proven to be effective on facial nerve palsy, many doctors have abandoned facial nerve decompression surgery (FND), and it is usually used only for traumatic facial palsy. However, there are still a few cases which cannot be cured by steroid therapy. With such cases or the cases which were not properly treated, we have used FND in the late period. In this paper, the results of this surgery are reported and its effectiveness is discussed.
