Abstract

We report a case of isolated palatine paralysis in a 15-year-old boy. The patient presented with complaints of nasal regurgitation of liquids with nasal speech. The patient recovered in 10 days without any residual paralysis. Various causes, which include infections, trauma, tumor, and brainstem lesions, were investigated, but no predisposing factor was found. The patient responded well to conservative management.
