Résumé
Although patients with facial palsy often complain of disturbed eye blinking which may lead to visual impairment, a blinking analysis is not part of routine grading of facial palsy. Twenty minutes of spontaneous eye blinking at rest of 30 patients with facial palsy (6 with acute palsy; 24 patients with facial synkinesis; median age: 58 years, 67% female), and 30 matched healthy probands (median age: 57 years; 67% female) was smart phone video recorded. A custom computer program automatically extracted eye measures and determined the eye closure rate (eye aspect ratio [EAR]), blink frequency, and blink duration. Facial Clinimetric Evaluation (FaCE), Facial Disability Index (FDI) were assessed as patient-reported outcome measures. The minimal EAR, i.e., minimal visible eye surface during blinking, was significantly higher on the paretic side in patients with acute facial palsy than in patients with synkinesis or in healthy controls. The blinking frequency on the affected side was significantly lower in both patient groups compared to healthy controls. Vice versa, blink duration was longer in both patient groups. There was no clear correlation between the blinking values and FaCE and FDI. Blinking parameters are easy to estimate automatically and add a functionally important parameter to facial grading.
