    Author: Kameswaran M, Abu-Eshy S, Hamdi J.
    Journal: Ear Nose Throat J; 1991 Nov; 70(11):801-3. PubMed ID: 1782891.
    Abstract:
    We present here a case of cavernous hemangioma of the parotid which presented as an acute emergency with sudden pain, trismus and swelling. The patient subsequently developed a complete lower motor neuron facial palsy a few hours after a fine needle aspiration biopsy was performed. Total parotidectomy with preservation of the facial nerve relieved the patient of all his symptoms with complete recovery of facial function in six weeks.
