“…C, View on the "head" of the resected styloid process rarity. 2,3 The imaging performed in this case revealed Eagle syndrome. This syndrome is defined as a recurring pain in the oropharynx and facial region caused by an elongated styloid process and/or calcified stylohyoid ligament.…”

“…There are 2 surgical approaches: (1) the transoral access: the process, which is situated in the tonsillar fossa or parapharyngeal space, is removed and shortened after previous tonsillectomy; and (2) in the case of open access, a conventional cervical incision is performed. Many centers verify the diagnosis retrospectively after surgical removal of the process.…”

In our case, a cervicotomy with an additional displacement of the facial nerve was performed in order to prevent damage to the nerve by manipulation of the styloid process.…”

Background Recurrent peripheral facial paresis is a rare symptom that may be caused by multiple pathologic conditions. Methods We report a case of recurrent peripheral facial palsies caused by an ipsilateral enlarged styloid process. A surgical excision of the process was performed. Results The treatment was well tolerated. Postoperatively, no further recurrent paresis was observed. Conclusion To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case study of an enlarged styloid process with facial paresis. A detailed workup, including imaging, should be performed in cases with recurrent facial paresis and/or cases with a history of trauma and facial paresis and, of course, to exclude a neoplastic etiology.

“…It was also reported that the probability of recurrence is directly related to the age of the patient; younger the patient higher the chances of recurrences. Similarly, probability also increases with a total occurrence count (Swami et al, 2010).…”

“…In our reported case, the medical treatment (steroid) was given to the patient and the patient had mostly recovered by the time of discharge. Literature showed no bene its after surgical decompression of facial nerve in the prevention of recurrence (Swami et al, 2010). Timing of surgery, route and extent of decompression all are still debatable.…”

Most facial palsies comprise of lower motor neuron type or Bell’s palsy. The mean incidence of recurrence of Bell’s palsy is 6.5% and can recur at any age. Although it was first reported in the year 1871, most of its etiology, pathology, management and progression are still neither fully described nor reported. We reported a case of Bell’s palsy in a young Saudi female who was presented with a unilateral recurrent episode of Bell’s palsy. Patient came to the emergency department with facial asymmetry, severe neck pain, loss of sensation on the left side of face and headache, while she was also not responding to oral medications. She was admitted to the hospital for an intravenous treatment and for further evaluation. Her serologic investigation was unremarkable. Similar episode had occurred five years ago as well, which was completely resolved after treatment. Her brain MRI localized T2 and T2 weighted sequence showed hyperintense lesion at the superior anterior aspect of left orbit and could represent lipoma versus hemangioma. Her presenting complaint responded well on IV treatment and patient was discharged on 11th day. She was also referred for plastic and neurosurgery services for the treatment of underlying cause. Recurrent Bell’s palsy is infrequent with etiology not fully elucidated. However, our case emphasizes that the timely medical treatment with regular follow-up is necessary for better prognosis and identification and treatment of underlying cause.
