Abstract

A case of peripheral facial palsy which appeared 8 days following ipsilateral stapedectomy, was diagnosed as Bell's palsy.

We stress the uncommon coincidence of the two events and the important implications in the treatment of a palsy appearing after middle ear surgery.

Bell's palsy is an unusual but real possibility which should be borne in mind before deciding on extended surgical exploration.
