Abstract
|
|
|
|
Idiopathic facial palsy of the peripheral type is the most common facial palsy. However, the rate of incident is much lower in children under 10 years. In children, many other conditions can cause peripheral facial nerve palsy. We present the cases of 2 children with whom the initial manifestation of their leukemia and brain stem tumor were shown through the peripheral type of facial nerve palsy. These cases should alert physicians to consider other serious causes in younger children with facial palsy.
