dc.description.abstractOtitis media is the second most common infectious disease of childhood, which is defined as clinical presentation that occurs due to inflammation of middle ear. It has been reported that Streptococcus pneumonia, Hemophilus influenzea and Moraxella catarrhalis are the causative agents accounted for acute otitis media (AOM). It is most commonly seen between 6 and 24 months of age. Although AOM is a commonly encountered disease in children, peripheral facial paralysis (PFP) is an uncommon complication of AOM. Most common cause of PFP is Bell's paralysis in children. A child, who had a history of AOM following upper tract infection and presented with PFP (Grade III according to Hause-Brackman classification) on the 3rd day of infection, was admitted to hospital and IV antibiotic therapy was given. One-week steroid therapy was initiated during follow-up period. At the end of 2nd month, PFP was completely recovered by medical treatment. In the present study, we aimed to call attention to a rare complication of AOM, facial paralysis, in this 6-month-old girl.en_US
