SOME OBSERVATIONS ON FACIAL PARESIS IN THE NEWBORN INFANT: ETIOLOGY AND INCIDENCE

W. R. HEPNER JR. M.D.1

1 The Department of Pediatrics and Obstetrics and Gynecology, and the Chicago Lying-In Hospital of the University of Chicago, Chicago.

The incidence of facial paresis in 875 consecutive mature cephalic births was 6.4%. The use of forceps was found not to influence the incidence of facial paresis. Pressure on the sacral prominence during labor is probably responsible for the majority of facial pareses seen in the newborn infant.
