Abstract | OBJECTIVE: STUDY DESIGN: Case report. METHODS: Three years after undergoing resection of an acoustic neuroma and subsequent resolution of postoperative left-sided facial nerve palsy, a 38-year-old woman presented with new onset of facial spasm and dysgeusia. RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: These findings, which have not been reported previously in the literature, indicate a potential role for BTX-A in the treatment of surgically associated dysgeusia.
