Facial nerve repair and regeneration: an overview of basic principles for neurosurgeons.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Marshall computed tomographic (CT) classification is widely used as a predictor of outcome. However, this grading system lacks the following variables, which are found to be useful predictors: subarachnoid/intraventricular hemorrhage, extradural hematoma, and extent of basal cistern compression. A new classi...
