Abstract
- Bell\'s palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis with a lifetime risk of one in 60 in general population. The exact pathophysiology is unknown, but it is suspected to be associated with viral infections such as herpes simplex virus (HSV). Recurrent facial palsy is a rare condition that can be caused by various factors but the cause remains unknown. We report a case of recurrent facial palsy who had antibodies of Lyme immunoglobulin G (IgG), HSV IgG, and IgM.
