Abstract
- Bell's palsy is the most common cause of unilateral, lower motor facial palsy. Especially recurrent paralysis of the facial nerve is an unusual occurrence and reported in only 7-8%. We report a case of recurrent bilateral Bell's palsy who suffered from acute pancreatitis. Numerous complications can occur after acute pancreatitis, but recurrent bilateral Bell's palsy was not reported yet.
