Facial baroparesis is facial nerve palsy secondary to barotrauma. This phenomenon is frequently seen in divers, but is under-reported there and has rarely been described in aviators or passengers aboard commercial aircraft. We describe a 24-yr-old healthy aviator who experienced an episode of facial nerve palsy during ascent while traveling as a passenger aboard a commercial flight. The probable pathogenesis of this phenomenon in this case is described.
面部气压性轻瘫是继发于气压伤的面神经麻痹。这种现象在潜水员中很常见，但在潜水员群体中报告不足，在飞行员或商用飞机乘客中则很少有描述。我们报告一例24岁健康飞行员，其在乘坐商用航班旅行时，在上升过程中发生了一次面神经麻痹。本文描述了该病例中这一现象可能的发病机制。
