Abstract
Facial palsy occurring as a complication in patients of chronic otitis media is rare. Cases presenting immediately or even within few months after onset of palsy the management hold no ambiguity. Cases presenting much late to hospitals cast, however, doubt over the surgical management. The surgical intervention is indicated as a last resort or performed along with a revision surgery after educating the patient about the guarded prognosis. Our presented case signifies the importance of performing a much delayed nerve decompression in cases with a partial facial nerve palsy, noncholesteatoma disease, and intact perineurium with no association of co-morbidities.
