From the great number of diagnostic attempts in facial nerve palsy the main procedures are summerized in this article with an evaluation of their significance. The demonstrated limitations of their clinical relevance should lead to a careful assessment of their results. However, a clinically worthwhile concept for functional and topographical diagnoses can be proposed. In each case of facial nerve palsy it is necessary to exclude all other etiological factors before the diagnose of Bell's palsy is made. The importance of early diagnose is stressed.
本文总结了针对面神经麻痹的大量诊断方法及其主要操作，并对其重要性进行了评估。已证实的这些方法在临床相关性方面的局限性，应促使人们仔细评估其结果。然而，可以提出一个在功能和定位诊断方面具有临床价值的概念。在诊断贝尔麻痹之前，对于每一例面神经麻痹患者，都有必要排除所有其他病因。强调了早期诊断的重要性。
