NPL and RL of CMAP on the paralysed side were equivalent or longer than those on the healthy side. During ENoG for facial palsy, CMAP should be measured on the healthy side first, and then detected (and the amplitude measured) on the paralysed side with reference to CMAP latency on the healthy side, to reduce errors in detecting facial CMAPs.
