Acute Disease

Facial palsy and regional trauma.

A 28 year old female with Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome developed an acute, peripheral facial paralysis following mucosal biopsy of the ipsilateral upper lip. The sole, previous facial palsy had occurred 24 years earlier. Immunological and virological studies were non-contributory. The occurrence of facial palsy secondary to regional trauma is briefly reviewed, and the possible influence of autonomic dysfunction discussed.
