Leprous facial paralysis appears more frequent in Iran than in other countries. The damaged branch is more often the upper one inducing lagophtalmos and, sometimes, associated with a trigeminal anesthesia. The ocular risk is great. When the lower branch is struck down, it gives an inesthetic deformity and speaking difficulty. As a consequence, surgical treatment is necessary and directed: –against lagophtalmos, with static or dynamic methods, –against the ptosis of commissura labiorum with several techniques available.
