Transient facial nerve paralysis after mandibular sagittal osteotomy

Gilberto Sammartino et al. J Craniofac Surg. 2005 Nov.

Abstract

Facial nerve injuries are rare complications after orthognathic surgery. A literature review shows that such damages can develop with various mechanisms and are usually transient. Two cases of delayed facial paralysis after mandibular osteotomy with spontaneous recovery are reported.
