Peripheral nerve injury is a well-recognized complication of surgery and anesthesia. However, overall incidence is less than 1% [1,2]. Most commonly affected nerves include the ulnar nerve, brachial plexus, and lumbosacral nerve root [2].

周围神经损伤是手术和麻醉中一种公认的并发症。然而，总体发生率低于1%[1,2]。最常受累的神经包括尺神经、臂丛神经和腰骶神经根[2]。术后面神经麻痹作为手术和麻醉的并发症在文献中有记载，但这是一种罕见的情况[3]。任何类型的神经损伤作为术后并发症在儿科人群中更为少见[2,3]。在本报告中，我们描述了1例小儿开胸术后发生面神经麻痹的病例。
