Abstract
BACKGROUND: Facial palsy is a rare, unexpected complication of temporal lobectomy (TL) for intractable epilepsy. Even without direct manipulation, the facial nerve fibers may be at risk of injury during supratentorial surgery, including TL. OBSERVATIONS: The authors presented two cases of facial palsy after unremarkable TL. In the first case, the palsy appeared in a delayed fashion and completely resolved within weeks. In the second case, facial nerve dysfunction was observed immediately after surgery, followed by progressive recovery over 2 years. The second patient had a dehiscence of the roof of the petrous bone overlying the geniculate ganglion, which put the facial nerve at risk of bipolar coagulation thermal injury. LESSONS: Two major mechanisms could explain the loss of facial nerve function after TL: surgery-related indirect inflammation of the nerve resulting in herpesvirus reactivation and delayed dysfunction (Bell's palsy) or indirect thermal damage to the geniculate ganglion through a dehiscent petrous roof.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
