ABSTRACT
A 44-year-old woman underwent operation of removal of external fixator and k-wires under general anesthesia using sevoflurane with jaw thrust maneuver. After the operation, the patient complained of left lower lip weakness and left partial facial palsy developed with drooping of left corner of mouth. Compression of marginal mandibular branch of left facial nerve during the jaw thrust maneuver is estimated to be the cause of facial nerve palsy. Patient’s symptoms improved with steroid therapy and physical therapy. A month later, the patient is doing well without discomfort. (J Clinical Otolaryngol 2017;28:86-89)
