ABSTRACT
A 41-year-old Japanese man was admitted to our hospital with acute perimyocarditis 4 weeks after coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection. Ten days after admission, the patient showed bilateral facial nerve palsy in the course of improvement of perimyocarditis under treatment with aspirin and colchicine. After prednisolone therapy, perimyocarditis completely improved, and the facial nerve palsy gradually improved. Acute perimyocarditis and facial nerve palsy can occur even 4 weeks after contracting COVID-19.
