An Unusual Case Report: Superficial Siderosis of Bilateral Internal Auditory Canal Presenting as Temporary Facial Palsy
Abstract: A 33-year-old woman with a history of heart valve replacement on warfarin presented with brief history of facial weakness and hearing loss. MRI showed superficial siderosis (SS) affecting both internal auditory canals?an uncommon and localized finding, as SS usually causes permanent nerve damage. Her recovery with conservative treatment suggests such damage may be reversible. This case highlights the need for early MRI diagnosis.
