Silent mastoiditis is a common complication of acute otitis media since the advent of antibiotics. Although most pediatric middle ear inflammations manifest themselves in both ears, otitic facial palsy almost always presents unilaterally. We report an unusual case of bilateral simultaneous facial palsy occurring during the course of a persistent otitis media in a 7-month-old child. Appropriate antibiotic therapy and insertion of ventilating tubes cleared the infectious inflammatory process, resulting in full recovery from nerve dysfunction.
自抗生素问世以来，隐匿性乳突炎一直是急性中耳炎的常见并发症。尽管大多数小儿中耳炎症表现为双耳发病，但耳源性面瘫几乎总是单侧出现。我们报告了一例7个月大儿童在持续性中耳炎病程中发生双侧同时性面瘫的罕见病例。适当的抗生素治疗和置入通气管清除了感染性炎症过程，使神经功能障碍完全恢复。
