Reversible paralysis of the facial nerve due to pressure
in the middle ear going up in a plane or surfacing in scuba diving. The excessive
pressure in the middle ear compresses the facial nerve and causes temporary paralysis.
After landing in a plane or surfacing in scuba diving, the ear pressure returns
to normal and the nerve paralysis subsides. Also called alternobaric facial nerve
palsy.
