Chronic Otitis Media with Facial Palsy: An Unexpected Etiology
Journal Title: Otolaryngology – Open Journal - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Chronic otitis media is a commonly observed disease worldwide. Facial palsy in a patient can be attributed to many causes. Facial paresis with chronic otitis media is almost always attributable to facial palsy. This article reports the clinical condition of a patient in whom the etiology of facial paresis was not conventional. However, the unexpected etiology that was observed could not be located in any pre-existing literature related to facial paresis.
