Abstract

Perioperative nerve injury is a rare but known complication. In anesthesia practice, ventilation with a face mask and jaw thrust manoeuvre may cause damage to the branches of the facial nerve. This damage can be temporary, long-term or permanent. In this case, we aimed to present the facial nerve damage that developed after mask ventilation in our patient who underwent cervical polyp extirpation and our interventions for this complication.

Nadir Bir Komplikasyon: Yüz Maskesi ile Ventilasyon Sonrası Fasiyal Sinir Hasarı

Abstract

Perioperatif sinir hasarı nadir ancak bilinen bir komplikasyondur. Anestezi uygulamasında yüz maskesiyle ventilasyon ve çene itme manevrası fasiyal sinirin dallarında hasar meydana getirebilir. Bu hasar geçici, uzun süreli veya kalıcı olabilir. Bu olguda servikal polip ekstirpasyonu yapılan hastamızda maske ventilasyonu sonrasında gelişen fasiyal sinir hasarını ve bu komplikasyona yönelik müdahalelerimizi sunmayı amaçladık.
