Viral Illness

Bell’s palsy, an acute onset, acquired, isolated peripheral facial palsy, usually follows a viral illness, is common disorder post infancy to adolescence. It has a favourable prognosis with spontaneous resolution, or with use of oral corticosteroids. Its presentation in early infancy is very unusual, as in our case report of 3 month old infant with an ovoid mass lesion in parotid, which disappeared after therapy with corticosteroids with no residual deficit.

<p class="abstract">Facial nerve paresis is a known complication of middle ear disease. However it is more commonly seen as a complication of chronic otitis media as compared to acute otitis media (AOM). There are very few reported cases of AOM leading to facial palsy and even fewer ones of bilateral acute otitis media leading to bilateral facial palsy. Since this is a very rare presentation its management and treatment are not very well outlined as per standard guidelines. Here we have presented a very rare case of bilateral AOM leading to bilateral facial paresis, how the case progressed and how it was managed. We have tried to bring forth the salient features of the presentation, the progression and the resolution of the disease due to the successful management<span lang="EN-IN">.</span></p>

Facial Spasm

Tortuous vertebral arteries are a rare anatomical variant. Mild tortuosity is usually asymptomatic whereas severe tortuosity may present with ischaemic symptoms or compressive symptoms (focal neurological deficit). While a resulting hemifacial spasm has been previously described, sparse literature exists for its association with facial palsy. We present a rare case of facial spasm along with facial palsy in a 67-year-old woman who was found to have an anatomical variant in the posterior basilar circulation with an ectatic basilar artery and significantly displaced posterior vertebral artery impinging on the facial nerve.

Idiopathic Facial Palsy

AbstractObjectiveThis paper presents a rare case of oculostapedial synkinesis.Case reportAfter partial resolution of an idiopathic facial palsy, a male patient presented with persistent distortion of hearing when blinking and closing his eye. Audiometry findings were unremarkable, and cross-sectional imaging of the facial nerve revealed no abnormalities apart from an incidental contralateral meningioma. Initial conservative management, with referral to a specialist physiotherapist, failed to resolve the symptoms. The patient subsequently opted for surgical intervention, and underwent a transmeatal tympanotomy and transection of the stapedial tendon. Following this, he had complete resolution of symptoms.ConclusionOculostapedial synkinesis is a rare complication of facial palsy, but is recognised in the literature. Given its unusual presentation, it can be overlooked, especially by more junior team members. This case highlights the need to pay careful attention to patients' symptoms and listen out for the description of hearing distortion on facial movement.

Cerebral Localization

Mucormycosis is a serious and relatively rare invasive fungal infection. The rhino-orbito-cerebral localization is the most frequent. Mucormycosis of external ear with facial palsy is extremely rare. We describe a case of mucormycosis of the external ear complicated by parotid abscess and facial palsy in a diabetic patient.
