However, it can go unrecognized for several years making the consideration of such diagnosis a bit tricky among otologists.

Case Presentation: We are reporting a case of a young female adult who presented with unilateral hearing loss for one year and intermittent episodes of facial twitching in addition to periods of recurrent unilateral facial palsy that happened about three times in the past two years.
