 We studied the effectiveness and characteristic of transmastoid facial nerve decompression in 24 cases with peripheral facial hemiplegia which were resistant to steroid therapy. Their preoperative diagnosis was Bell's palsy in 16 cases and Ramsay Hunt syndrome in 8 cases. Yanagihara score, which is widely used in Japan to assess facial paralysis, was significantly increased postoperatively in each case. Interestingly, the score improved in a preoperative score-dependent fashion, where a lower preoperative score was associated with a greater improvement. Thus, we should positively consider the surgical treatment in cases of low Yanagihara score despite completion of steroid therapy.
