Abstract:
A case of oculostapedial synkinesis occurring after Bell's palsy is described. This rare phenomenon has not previously been reported following Bell's palsy. The authors discuss the method of objectively proving the diagnosis, which can be difficult. The patient was successfully treated by stapedius tendon section under local anaesthesia.
