Non-cholesteatomatous suppurative otitis media: facial nerve palsy in an immunocompromised patient
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 June 2007
Abstract
A 47-year-old man developed a complete facial nerve palsy secondary to non-cholesteatomatous suppurative otitis media. At operation, this was seen to be due to destruction of the nerve from halfway along the horizontal segment to a point just distal to the second genu. The history of recent renal transplantation and subsequent immunosuppression was judged to be significant in the pathogenesis of the palsy.
