Abstract:
Condylar neck fractures are common injuries that occur in the facial and mandibular regions. The proximity of this area to the vital neurovasculature creates the increased importance of proper surgical intervention to limit damage to the underlying structures. Here, we report a case of a condylar neck fracture that resulted in temporary paresis of the facial nerve. In addition, a review of the literature regarding condylar fracture treatment and its complications was conducted.
