The Schirmer test enables us to localise a lesion of the facial nerve as situated proximally or distally to the geniculate ganglion. Three cases of traumatic facial paralysis were surgically treated. One by transmastoidal decompression, two others by subtemporal suture or nerve graft. Partial to subtotal reinnervation took place in all three cases. The correct choice of transmastoidal or subtemporal approach was made according to the results of the Schirmer test, in the absence of X ray information.
施密特试验使我们能够确定面神经损伤是位于膝状神经节的近端还是远端。对3例创伤性面瘫患者进行了手术治疗。1例采用经乳突减压术，另外2例采用颞下缝合或神经移植术。3例均发生了部分至完全性神经再支配。在没有X线信息的情况下，根据施密特试验结果正确选择了经乳突或颞下手术入路。
