We report two children and a young adult who developed unilateral facial palsy shortly after injury to the external ear. In two instances the paralysis followed a prominent ear correction and in the other a laceration to the concha. The trauma-triggered facial palsy was most likely idiopathic although the anatomy of the facial nerve near the ear leads one to speculate on a possible pathway of a virally induced palsy (Bell's palsy). Each patient recovered over a period of 6 months.
我们报告了两名儿童和一名年轻成人，他们在耳部受伤后不久出现了单侧面瘫。其中两例面瘫发生在耳部整形术后，另一例发生在耳甲撕裂伤后。尽管耳部附近面神经的解剖结构使人推测可能存在病毒感染性面瘫（贝尔面瘫）的途径，但创伤引发的面瘫很可能是特发性的。每位患者均在6个月内康复。
