  • Title: Unilateral facial nerve paralysis after electrocution injury.
    Author: Ahmed I, Farhan W, Durham L.
    Journal: J Laryngol Otol; 2007 May; 121(5):494-6. PubMed ID: 17156514.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of acute, unilateral facial nerve paralysis in a patient who had received a low voltage electrical current. This is an extremely rare cause of this neurological condition. The patient regained complete neurological function approximately three months after the incident. Unilateral facial nerve paralysis most commonly occurs due to infection or blunt or penetrating trauma; it has not been previously reported as a result of low voltage electrical injury.
