Abstract
In September 1994 a patient was admitted to our unit of the School of Physical Therapy of A Coruña, Spain, after surgery in December 1990 for neuroma of the VIII cranial pair, confirmed as total by electromyography. In January 1994, the left temporal muscle was transposed to obtain dynamic suspension of the buccal commissure and ocular occlusion during mastication. At the time of admission the patient did not have voluntary control of the left orbicular of the left eyelid, although the masseter and left temporal muscles were 3+ on the Lacôte scale. The patient could not dissociate the occlusion of one eyelid with respect to the other. The purpose of physical therapy with myofeedback was to obtain the occlusion of the left eyelid and dissociation of the eyelids. This goal was achieved after 30 treatment sessions.
