Abstract

Letters Facial baroparesis is a rare phenomenon that is even more is the third most frequent, chronic, and potentially fatal rarely associated with previous otologic surgery. Facial nerve de- cardiovascular disease. Importantly, a dramatic increase in the compression carries the unlikely risk of baroparesis, warranting risk of PE is observed in the aging population. Pulmonary attention to improve preoperative patient counseling and intra- embolism accounts for 370 000 related deaths every year in operative consideration of more extensive FN decompression. 6 European countries, likely to increase as the population ages and in parallel with the global epidemic of obesity in Raymond W.

Moreover, OSA and PE are associated with a sedentary lifestyle.
