  • Title: Malformation of the external ear and facial paralysis caused by megatemperature hydro-aluminum.
    Author: Xu YD, Yang HD, Zheng YQ, Chen SJ, Ji SF.
    Journal: Acta Otolaryngol; 2009 May; 129(5):580-4. PubMed ID: 18720076.
    Abstract:
    We present a case of right lateral auricle contracture malformation, auricular canal atresia, and complete facial paralysis (House-Brackmann grade VI) caused by a megatemperature hydro-aluminum injury at work. The diastrophic auricle and auricular canal atresia were reshaped. The complete facial paralysis was reanimated to House-Brackmann grade III after surgical hypoglossal-facial end-to-end anastomosis. These outcomes indicate that hypoglossal-facial end-to-end anastomosis is an effective surgical option for successful reanimation of complete facial paralysis.
