DELAYED FACIAL PALSY FOLLOWING TYPE 1 TYMPANOPLASTY

Journal Title: Kocatepe Medical Journal - Year 2023, Vol 24, Issue 1

Abstract

Delayed facial paralysis that occurs days or weeks after a trouble-free ear surgery is a rare condition. Although its prognosis is generally good, it is a frightening result for both the patient and the surgeon. This troubling complication has mostly been reported only after tympano-mastoidectomy, stapes surgery, cochlear implant, and endolymphatic surgery. As far as we have investigated in the literature, our case is the first case of delayed facial palsy after type 1 tympanoplasty presented in the literature. In this case report, we aimed to present a case with peripheral facial paralysis on the postoperative 9th day following tympanoplasty type 1 and our treatment approach in the light of the current literature.
