Abstract
- Neurolymphomatosis is a complication of lymphoma and initial presentation of cranial nerve involvement has been rarely reported. We describe a patient with neurolymphomatosis who presented as facial palsy mimicking steroid responsive Bell's palsy, a common and benign condition. This case shows that even minor neurologic deficit of lymphoma patient should not be absolutely regarded as a benign condition.
