Abstarct

Bilateral facial palsy is an uncommon condition and few clinicians have experience of more than the occasional case. Unlike its unilateral counterpart, an aetiological, factor is often demonstrable. A Wide variety of recongnized disease may give rise to the condition and thus thorough investigation is required. This paper presents an unusual example of this rare condition.
