Abstract
|
|
|
|
Canine fossa puncture during endoscopic sinus surgery is a valuable option for evaluating pathologies of the maxillary sinus that pose challenging problems for clinicians. It is useful to have an access to the anterior and lateral walls of the maxillary sinus in patients with inverted papilloma, antrochoanal polyps or foreign bodies. To date, there are several reports about its complications. We experienced a rare case of paralysis of the buccal branch of the facial nerve. To our knowledge, this is a rare case. Here, we report our case with a review of literatures.
