Abstract
BackgroundFacial paralysis is a common clinical entity that is characterized by movement dysfunction of the facial expression muscles without age restrictions. Currently, many strategies are used to treat facial paralysis in clinical practice, such as glucocorticoids, surgery, and biofeedback therapy; however, the therapeutic effect of these therapies is not ideal. Among all types of facial paralysis, traumatic facial paralysis is difficult to treat. Finding an effective treatment is necessary. Patient presentationThe patient is a 2-year-old girl who was struck in the head by a car. She was noted to have right peripheral facial paralysis 12 h after the injury. A therapy combining electroacupuncture and hyperbaric oxygen was used to treat her. The patient was cured after 8 weeks of treatment (House-Brackmann Grade I). ConclusionBy reporting this successful case, this combined treatment for child traumatic facial paralysis is recommended. However, further research is necessary to determine whether this treatment has such a positive effect on all cases.
