Cephalic tetanus is a rare form of tetanus defined as trismus plus paralysis of one or more cranial nerves. The seventh cranial nerve is most commonly involved. The process can remain localized, or become generalized. We describe the case of an elderly Caucasian man who developed cephalic tetanus after head trauma with a facial wound. Bell's palsy was inaugural.
头部破伤风是破伤风的一种罕见形式，定义为牙关紧闭加一条或多条颅神经麻痹。最常受累的是第七颅神经。该过程可局限于局部，也可发展为全身性。我们描述了一例老年白人男性病例，该患者头部外伤伴面部伤口后发生头部破伤风。首发症状为贝尔麻痹。
