Undergraduate medical education in facial plastic and reconstructive surgery.

Instruction in basic surgical techniques with practical experience is often minimized in the modern, compressed medical curriculum. The otorlaryngologist can fulfill a major need in this area by presenting instruction in these techniques with emphasis on their application to the face. The authors have developed a course which has been refined through the experiences of over 100 medical students at the University of Colorado Medical Center and has been uniformly well received by students and administration. The outline of the didactic presentation and organization of the practicum is presented.

Syndromes associated with congenital facial paralysis.

Thirty-five of 1,488 pediatric otologic cases had congenital facial nerve weakness. A cause was generally not found, but two probably had nuclear dysgenesis; one may have had an intracanalicular lesion; two cases resulted from teratogens, one from poor intrauterine environment, and three from genetic complications. Five had total unilateral paralysis; one had bilateral palsy. Frequent associated anomalies were microtiaatresia, hemifacial microsomia, facial clefts, Moebius syndrome, and congenital conductive sensorineural loss.
