Isolated paralysis of the marginal mandibular nerve results in an asymmetrical lip appearance with aesthetic and functional losses. Until today treatment options include mainly muscle transfers, and botulinium toxin injections for temporary issues. Since it was first reported by Edgerton, the technique of anterior belly of digastric transfer has been one of the most preferred. Alternatives for this technique still remain limited. In this clinical report, a new alternative technique was defined, stylohyoid muscle transfer, for the situations that digastric muscle is absent. The technique was compared with other conventional treatment methods and the outcomes were discussed.
下颌缘支神经孤立性麻痹会导致唇部外观不对称，造成美学和功能上的损失。直至今日，治疗选择主要包括肌肉转移，以及针对临时问题的肉毒杆菌毒素注射。自埃杰顿首次报道以来，二腹肌前腹转移技术一直是最常用的技术之一。该技术的替代方法仍然有限。在本临床报告中，针对二腹肌缺失的情况定义了一种新的替代技术——茎突舌骨肌转移。将该技术与其他传统治疗方法进行了比较，并讨论了结果。
