ABSTRACT
Traumatic injury is the second most common etiology of facial nerve paralysis and head trauma is responsible for approximately 5% of facial nerve paralysis cases. While an acute onset of facial nerve weakness is accepted as immediate facial nerve paralysis, onset of facial paralysis symptoms at least 48 hours after the head trauma is widely accepted as delayed facial nerve paralysis. In the absense of an obvious injury to the facial nerve, neural edema is accepted as the cause of delayed facial nerve paralysis. Electrophysiological tests are the most valuable tools for the management of facial nerve paralysis.
