The changes of nerve-muscle junctions were observed via scanning electron microscope. Results All the 32 cases of pathological synkinesia were denervation of degree Ⅲ and severe facial palsy. Reaction undulatory forms of musculus orbicularis oculi and musculus orbicularis oris recorded simultaneously at the stimulated side in trigemial-facial nerve reflex test accounted for 81%(28/32) patients and 89% guinea pigs.
