Transient facial paralysis after myringotomy and ventilation tube insertion under sedation with sevoflurane inhalation and four-quadrant blocks with lidocaine: a case report

Myringotomy and ventilation tube insertion are widely performed in pediatric patients with chronic otitis media. This procedure is performed under general anesthesia or sedation with local anesthesia infiltration in pediatric patients. In this case report, we report a case of transient facial paralysis in a pediatric patient who underwent myringotomy and ventilation tube insertion using sevoflurane inhalation and four-quadrant blocks with lidocaine.
