Abstract
|
|
|
|
Bilateral facial palsy is a rare disease which accounts for 0.3~2.0% of the facial palsy cases. Bilateral facial palsy is defined as simultaneous onset of facial palsy which means the involvement of the opposite side within 4 weeks of the onset of the first side. The underlying etiology of bilateral facial palsy can be extensive - neurological, infectious, neoplastic, traumatic, metabolic or degenerative disorders are included. Although it can be a diagnostic challenge, rapid diagnosis is essential for proper treatment. Hearin, we report our experiences of two cases with bilateral facial palsies of different causes; one with bilateral Bell’s palsy, and the other with GuillainBarre syndrome with bilateral facial palsy.
