Abstract
|
|
|
|
Peripheral facial palsy has been considered as one of the neurologic complications of HIV infection, but the reported cases in the literature are rare. It is more common in the earlier stage of HIV infection due to the primary damage by HIV or to the secondary infection by Varicella-Zoster virus. So HIV infection should be included as a possible etiology of facial palsy, especially in the high-risk patients. In this paper, I report a case of 38-year old patient with recurrent facial palsy which was accompanied with severe headache and hearing loss as a primary manifestation of HIV infection.
