Abstract
- Infectious mononucleosis, a common systemic illness primarily involving children and young adults, is due apparently to the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Although neurologic complications of infectious mononucleosis are rare, these include meningoencephalitis, Guillain-Barre syndrome and mononeuritis, and facial nerve paralysis. Bilateral facial nerve palsy rarely develops in patients with a primary Ebstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection, and only a few of these have clinical manifestations of infectious mononucleosis. We report a case of a 18-year-old man with bilateral facial nerve paralysis associated with infectious mononucleosis.
