Abstract
Objectives: Cochlear implantation (CI) is a surgical intervention used to rehabilitate hearing in individuals, both pediatric and adult, with severe hearing loss. It is generally a safe procedure with rare postoperative complications. Facial nerve paralysis following cochlear implant surgery poses challenges in diagnosis and treatment.
Methods: This case report details a 48-year-old male who experienced delayed facial paralysis after cochlear implantation, an uncommon occurrence with limited documentation.
Results: The facial nerve palsy of the patient resolved by the third week with combined therapy.
Discussion: The etiology of this complication is not fully understood, with latent virus reactivation, particularly HSV and VZV, hypothesized as a probable cause.
Conclusion: Successful management involves a combination of corticosteroids, antiviral therapy, and antibiotics, leading to a favorable outcome.
期刊介绍：
Cochlear Implants International was founded as an interdisciplinary, peer-reviewed journal in response to the growing number of publications in the field of cochlear implants. It was designed to meet a need to include scientific contributions from all the disciplines that are represented in cochlear implant teams: audiology, medicine and surgery, speech therapy and speech pathology, psychology, hearing therapy, radiology, pathology, engineering and acoustics, teaching, and communication. The aim was to found a truly interdisciplinary journal, representing the full breadth of the field of cochlear implantation.
