Diagnostic Challenge

Clinical cases of orbital apex syndrome are rare and most commonly manifested as a complication of fungal sinusitis, mainly in immunocompromised and poorly controlled diabetic patients. Rhino-orbital mucormycosis is a rare opportunistic, aggressive and fatal infection caused by mucor. The complex presentation of orbital apex syndrome not only poses a diagnostic challenge but also demands a multidisciplinary approach in patient management. Facial nerve palsy is an unusual presentation in orbital apex syndrome. We report the case of a 64-year-old diabetic patient presenting with ophthalmoplegia and visual loss associated with facial nerve palsy. Prompt ophthalmologic and otolaryngologic intervention with imaging and histologic confirmation, followed by early initiation of antifungal and antimicrobial therapy, were integral to preventing further complications, and reducing morbidity and mortality.

Histological Diagnosis

One hundred and eight parotidectomies performed by a single consultant were reviewed. Eighty-five patients had primary parotid disease, 23 patients had extra-parotid primaries. Pleomorphic adenoma was the most common histological diagnosis. In patients with primary parotid disease, a post-operative temporary facial nerve palsy was noted in 15 patients, with a further four developing a permanent palsy. Patients with metastatic disease to the parotid had a poor prognosis.

<p class="abstract">Facial paralysis associated with parotid disease is usually caused by a malignant process. Facial nerve palsy due to parotid gland abscess is very rare with only about 10 previously reported cases. Parotid abscess with facial palsy may be the first presenting symptom of underlying diabetes mellitus. We report a case of a 35-year-old man, not a known case of diabetes or hypertension, who presented with a right sided parotid abscess and difficulty in mouth opening with grade 4 facial nerve palsy, who on investigation was found to have underlying uncontrolled diabetes mellitus. Parotid abscess is mainly seen in elderly, diabetic and immunocompromised. Facial nerve palsy secondary to parotid abscess is a rare condition but probably underreported. Facial nerve palsy associated with parotid abscess is rare and may be one of the first presenting feature of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.</p>

Metastatic Lesions

Metastatic lesions of the parotid gland are well described in the literature. Metastatic spread to the parotid from renal cell carcinoma is rare. We present the only reported case of facial nerve palsy caused by a metastasis to the parotid from a renal cell carcinoma.
