[Peripheral facial paralysis in a patient infected with HTLV-1 virus. 2 case reports].

INTRODUCTION: Facial nerve palsy is a frequent situation of varying etiology and the former concept of frozen facial nerves is progressively being abandoned. The HTLV-1 virus, endemic to some tropical areas, is one of the most recent causes discovered. OBSERVATIONS: We present two HTLV-1 seropositive patients of Caribbean origin who developed facial palsy and several complications related to this retrovirus. COMMENTS: When confronted with facial palsy, the presence of risk factors for HTLV-1 infection (particularly when native in high seroprevalence areas) must lead to serological examinations in the search for this retrovirus.
