Abstract
Middle meningeal artery embolization (MMAE) has emerged as a safe and efficacious alternative to surgery for the treatment of new or recurrent chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). Several complications such as facial palsy may suddenly occur even in the absence of evident dangerous anastomoses in the angiogram. We herein present a case-report of left facial nerve palsy after MMAE.
