Fasial Sinir Felci Sonrası Gelişen Oküler Komplikasyonların Kombine Cerrahi Tedavisi: Olgu Sunumu

A 71-year-old man who had developed right facial nerve palsy after acoustic neuroma resection was referred to our eye clinic with\udocular complications. Due to the brow ptosis, he could not open his right eye properly. There were ocular surface problems as a result\udof incomplete closure of the upper eyelid over the cornea. He complained of epiphora resulting from paralytic ectropium. Surgical\udprocedures performed at the same session were right brow suspension, 0.8 g gold weight implantation into the right upper eyelid, lateral\udcanthoplasty, and horizontal lid shortening of the right lower eyelid. After the surgery, improvements of his complaints were satisfying.\udAs a conclusion, in the treatment of more than one ocular complication developing from facial nerve palsy, combined surgical procedures\udmay be performed in terms of both functional and aesthetics improvements.
