In the airplane we are at the top of the mountain of 6000-8000 ft high. The case in the report
must be extremely rare. It may be impossible to happen. If it occurred as reported, it
must have recovered spontaneously no matter what the doctor did. But I admire his D. Dx
and did not order emergency landing.

I learned a lot.

Unilateral Facial Paralysis During an Airline Flight
Alan J. Hunter, MD
Article, Author, and Disclosure Information
Background: A medical emergency during a commercial airline flight may require an unplanned landing, which disrupts travel plans and is expensive.
