Abstract
Non-iatrogenic traumatic facial paralysis is most common in intratemporal facial nerve injury caused by temporal bone fracture, followed by intraparotid facial nerve branch injury. Facial paralysis caused by injury to the extratemporal trunk of the facial nerve is extremely rare. We present a case of a 60-year-old man suffering from immediate complete left peripheral facial paralysis due to blunt transection of extratemporal trunk of facial nerve by stabbing with a car key. There was a facial nerve defect about 1 cm in length. The great auricular nerve was grafted to repair the facial nerve. Over 12 months, his facial nerve function improved to a House-Brackmann III/VI.
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.
