Abstract:
Parotid gland injuries are often associated with a number of sequelae. Assault and accidents contribute to nearly 90% of the parotid gland injuries. We report a case of an 18 year old male who presented with a history of trauma to the left side of face six weeks back, which he sustained after a wooden log fell from a height of about 10 feet. Patient developed delayed onset weakness over the lower part of face after three weeks of trauma. CT scan revealed the possibility of a foreign body within the sinus tract.
