Facial nerve palsy due to birth trauma: About 2 cases and review of the literature

Résumé

Neonatal Facial Palsy is a rare disease that has rarely been described in the medical literature. This can be caused by facial nerve compression, faulty facial muscle, and/or nerve development. Marc-Hector Landouzy (1812–1864) after a series of case studies, the first case that was cited is a forceps delivery described facial paralysis of a new Born for the first time. In our study, we present two newborns with no pregnancy incidents, who presented with facial nerve paralysis secondary to forceps use. The children received corticosteroids for a week, and they experienced complete and rapid recovery. Post-traumatic facial paralysis is usually mild, with a favorable outcome that usually does not require medical or surgical treatment.
