Facial nerve palsy is most commonly idiopathic, but it can also result from infections, inflammatory and cerebrovascular disorders, tumors, and trauma. We report the case of a 68-year-old patient who developed iatrogenic facial nerve palsy subsequent to dermatological cryosurgery on the right cheek. Remarkably, a full recovery occurred within 8 weeks. Drawing upon the promising outcome of this case and the existing literature on neuropathies linked with cold application in sports injuries, we propose neurapraxia as the probable pathomechanism underlying cryotherapy-induced nerve damage.
