측두골골절로 인한 양측 안면신경마비의 경유양동一외미로一측두하 안면신경감압술 1례

Return of facial nerve function is important in patients with facial nerve paralysis by temporal bone fracture. Sometimes, general status of patient and delay in diagnosis of facial nerve paralysis make recovery of facial nerve function difficult.

Recently, I have managed a patient with House-Brackmann grade VI bilateral facial nerve paralysis after temporal bone fracture and transmastoid-extralabyrinthine-subtemporal facial nerve decompression was performed. We have obtained good result and report this case with review of literatures.
