The Chvostek sign is a clinical sign of existing nerve hyperexcitability (tetany) seen in hypocalcemia. It refers to an abnormal reaction to the stimulation of the facial nerve.
Description:Carcinomatous or leukemic nerve invasion Chronic meningitis Cerebellopontine angle or glomus jugulare tumors Diabetes The other disorders that cause peripheral facial nerve palsy typically develop more slowly than idiopathic facial nerve palsy and may have other distinguishing symptoms or signs. Thus, if patients have any other neurologic symptoms or signs or if symptoms developed gradually, MRI should be done. In idiopathic facial nerve palsy, MRI may show contrast enhancement of the facial nerve at or near the geniculate ganglion or along the entire course of the nerve. However, its enhancement may reflect other causes, such as meningeal tumor. If the paralysis progresses over weeks to months, the likelihood of a tumor eg, most commonly schwannoma compressing the facial nerve increases.
