- Abstract
The present paper aims at introducing a new method of testing the function of the chorda tympani with the aid of submandibular salivary pH. This method has several advantages: (1.) it enables the measurement of the function of only the paralyzed side; (2.) it accurately predicts the outcome of facial palsy at an early stage; and (3.) the method is simple and inexpensive.
