초록
Local anesthetic injection at the surgical site in tonsillectomy is a commonly used method to reduce pain andbleeding postoperatively. Rare cases of transient facial nerve palsy due to local anesthesia have been reported,which are presumed to be a result of the local anesthetic infiltrating around the facial nerve trunk through thesuperior constrictor muscle. The authors experienced transient facial nerve palsy in a 6-year-old boy after ton-sillectomy. In the recovery room, the patient could not wrinkle the right side of his forehead and completely closehis eyes. The patient showed symptoms of peripheral facial nerve palsy that were equivalent to House-Brackmanngrade (HB Gr) V. In this case, the patient showed improvement to HB Gr II after approximately 1 hour and com-plete recovery after 3 hours from the onset of symptoms. Here, we present the case and a review of the literature.
Abstract
Local anesthetic injection at the surgical site in tonsillectomy is a commonly used method to reduce pain andbleeding postoperatively. Rare cases of transient facial nerve palsy due to local anesthesia have been reported,which are presumed to be a result of the local anesthetic infiltrating around the facial nerve trunk through thesuperior constrictor muscle. The authors experienced transient facial nerve palsy in a 6-year-old boy after ton-sillectomy. In the recovery room, the patient could not wrinkle the right side of his forehead and completely closehis eyes. The patient showed symptoms of peripheral facial nerve palsy that were equivalent to House-Brackmanngrade (HB Gr) V. In this case, the patient showed improvement to HB Gr II after approximately 1 hour and com-plete recovery after 3 hours from the onset of symptoms. Here, we present the case and a review of the literature.
