Background: Facial nerve palsy is a multifaceted pathology that causes facial disfigurement, affecting eye closure, speech articulation, oral competence, and emotional expression, with functional, aesthetic, and psychological consequences.

Here, we aimed to compare and correlate clinical findings with electromyography in patients with facial nerve palsy, before and after facial nerve reanimation with cross-facial nerve grafts.
