Aggressive Management

Necrotizing fasciitis (NF) is a very aggressive infection with associated high mortality. Risk factors of acquiring this infection may include diabetes mellitus, surgery, trauma, and infection. This infection necessitates prompt recognition and aggressive management in order to avoid its unfavourable outcomes. Associated nerve paralysis may indicate the involvement of deeper tissue.The present report highlights a case of cervical NF that was complicated by facial nerve paralysis, a feature that has rarely been reported.

Objective: Facial nerve paralysis is one of the most devastating complications after parotid gland surgery. We aimed to determine the prevalence and risk factors of facial palsy after parotidectomy.Methods: We performed a retrospective review of the data from 54 patients who underwent parotid surgery between 2004 and 2015 at a tertiary medical care center. The prevalence of facial nerve paralysis and possible risk factors (demographic characteristics, tumor characteristics, and operative factors) associated with postoperative paralysis were assessed. Categorical variables were evaluated using the Fisher’s exact test, and a two-tailed t-test was used to assess the associations between continuous and binary outcome variables.Results: The postparotidectomy prevalence of temporary and permanent facial nerve paralysis were 26% and 13%, respectively. Tumors involving both lobes were significantly associated with permanent facial nerve paralysis (p = .048). Long operative duration (> 164 minutes) was associated with both temporary and permanent facial nerve paralysis (p = .040).Conclusions: Operative factors such as operative duration and tumor characteristics such as bilobal involvement increased the risk of postparotidectomy facial nerve paralysis. Such factors should be considered to reduce the risk of palsy in patients undergoing parotidectomy.

Background: Chronic osteomyelitis mandibula is one of the complications from dental extraction. Inadequate wound handling can have an impact on the spread of infection in the surrounding tissue like nerve which results in facial nerve paralysis. The purpose is to present a rare case that facilitative nerve paralysis as a result of the spread of osteomyelitis infectionCase Management: A 69 years old woman with chief complains numbness onher lips accompanied by pus out beside the lower teeth. No sistemic disease. Panoramic radiograph showed abnormal bone-like sequester. Extraoral examination appeared the bluish color on the right cheek and there was right facial muscle paralysis. Debridement, sequesterectomy by general anesthesia and medication using ceftriaxone intravenous, ketorolac injection, multivitamin, and corticosteroid, physiotherapy for facial nerve paralyze, also.Discussion: Pathogenesis mandibular osteomyelitis involves contiguous spreadfrom an odontogenic focus infection. The bacteria produce an exotoxin, which, while unable to cross the blood-brain barrier, can have deleterious effects on thePeripheral Nerve System (Fasialis Nerve) in up to 75% of cases, with the severity of presentation correlating with the severity of the infection.Conclusion: Chronic mandibular osteomyelitis can spread the infection to around another anatomy oral cavity like facials nerves.
