Abstract
Introduction
Middle-ear adenoma is a rare benign endocrine tumor with slow progression, and can, in very rare cases, lead to recurrent peripheral facial palsy.
Case report
A young man experienced three episodes of right peripheral facial palsy of incremental intensity, suggestive of barotrauma. CT and MRI found a tissue mass in the tympanic cavity, and biopsy diagnosed middle-ear adenoma. Electroneuromyography found 50% impairment of facial function. Closed right tympanoplasty with complete tumor resection enabled complete recovery of facial function within 1 month.
Discussion
Middle-ear adenoma is diagnosed on histology, as imaging on MRI can be non-specific, mimicking chronic otitis. Facial involvement is rare and is due to edematous compression of the vasa nervorum. Treatment is surgical, and follow-up should be prolonged. Palsy assessment on electroneuromyography indicates the urgency of treatment.
期刊介绍：
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
