Peripheral facial nerve palsy (FNP) is a mononeuropathy that affects the peripheral part of the facial nerve. Primary causes of peripheral FNP remain largely unknown, but detectable causes include systemic infections (viral and others), trauma, ischemia, tumor, and extrinsic compression. Peripheral FNP in relation to extrinsic compression has rarely been described in case reports. Here, we report a case of a 71-year-old man who was diagnosed with peripheral FNP following endoscopic submucosal dissection. This case is the first report of the development of peripheral FNP in a patient undergoing therapeutic endoscopy. We emphasize the fact that physicians should be attentive to the development of peripheral FNP following therapeutic endoscopy.
周围性面神经麻痹（FNP）是一种影响面神经周围部分的单神经病。周围性FNP的主要病因在很大程度上仍不明确，但可检测到的病因包括全身感染（病毒感染及其他）、创伤、缺血、肿瘤和外部压迫。与外部压迫相关的周围性FNP在病例报告中很少被描述。在此，我们报告一例71岁男性患者，其在内镜黏膜下剥离术后被诊断为周围性FNP。该病例是接受治疗性内镜检查的患者发生周围性FNP的首例报告。我们强调医生应注意治疗性内镜检查后周围性FNP的发生这一事实。
