Özet

Acute otitis media (AOM) is one of the most common infectious diseases in childhood. It is seen most often between 6-18 months of age. Although it is known to have many complications, peripheral facial palsy is an uncommon complication in infancy. Here, a 42-day-old infant with unilateral facial palsy secondary to AOM and mastoiditis is presented. Facial nerve palsy improved without surgery.
