ABSTRACT
The leukemia of infancy, characterized by a high leukocyte count, massive organomegaly, CNS leukemia at diagnosis, high chromosomal abnormalities and immature phenotype. This is reflected in its poor prognosis. Isolated lesions of the facial nerve have been reported in leukemia patients, but appear to be rare in infancy. We report a case of unilateral facial nerve paralysis occurred in 4-months-old male who had acute lymphoblastic leukemia with review of literature.
