Abstract
Bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy(BSSRO) of the mandible is an essential and commonly used procedure to correct dentofacial deformities and malocclusion. The possible complications associated with BSSRO include inferior alveolar nerve injury, bleeding, temporomandibular disorder, unfavorable fractures, and clinical relapse. The incidence of facial nerve palsy after orthognathic surgery recently reported is 0.1%. The probable etiologies have included facial nerve compression, complete or incomplete nerve transection, nerve traction, and nerve ischemia from anesthetic injection. Postoperative facial palsy is one of the most serious complications because it reduces the quality of life and significantly reduces social interaction. The case of a 24-year-old patient who underwent bilateral sagittal split ramus osteotomy is described. The medical records and postoperative photographs were reviewed in detail to collect information on the clinical course, treatment, and outcomes.
