Abstract
Nasal alar deformity: a very rare complication of acoustic neuroma surgery after ipsilateral trigeminal and facial nerve paralysis
Highlights
Nasal alar structural and functional integrity is very important for nasal breathing and facial aesthetic appearance
trigeminal trophic syndrome (TTS) is an uncommon disorder of the trigeminal nerve characterized by a triad of facial ulcers, with anesthesia and paresthesia of the involved dermatomes
In our case we believe that facial and trigeminal nerve palsies as a result of brain surgery, have both contributed to the deformity of the nasal ala
Summary
In our case we believe that facial and trigeminal nerve palsies as a result of brain surgery, have both contributed to the deformity of the nasal ala.
