Abstract
Background: Bell’s Palsy After Granular myringitis is a quite rare condition. Bell’s palsy presents as a form of facial nerve paralysis involving lower motor neurons, the etiology of which remains unidentified.(1) The annual occurrence rate of Bell’s palsy ranges from 20 to 30 cases per 100,000 individuals. While this condition can manifest at any point in a person’s life, it typically emerges between the ages of 15 and 30 years.(2) Myringitis refers to inflammation of the tympanic membrane (TM), which can affect its outer surface and sometimes the nearby bony external auditory canal. This condition can present either acutely or chronically. Objective: The aim of this case study is to enhance understanding regarding the involvement of physiotherapy in the management of Bell’s Palsy following Granular myringitis. Discussion: This case report delves into the discussion of the disease, alongside its medical and physiotherapy management, presented briefly. Conclusion: Patient suffering from Bell’s Palsy After Granular myringitis can benefit from a holistic approach with the combination of medicine and physiotherapy.
