ABSTRACT
Although Bell's palsy is the most common cause of facial palsy in children, some cases have potentially fatal causes. We report a rare case of isolated facial palsy in a 4-year-old girl whose diagnosis was acute myeloid leukemia with extramedullary infiltration. The findings of laboratory investigations were nonspecific at presentation except that the delta neutrophil index was 34.5% (reference range, 0%–5%). To avoid hasty diagnosis of Bell's palsy in children with isolated facial palsy, vigilant differential diagnosis and workup are recommended.
