ABSTRACT
Facial paralysis is one of the common problems leading to facial deformation. COVID-19 virus rarely has been shown to be associated with facial palsy. Here we present a case of a 60-year-old woman who presented with features of left lower motor facial palsy signs along with common features suggestive of COVID-19 infection. Brain imaging did not reveal any pertinent pathology but her polymerase chain reaction for COVID-19 was positive. This case highlights the fact that acute COVID-19 infection can be considered a cause of motor neuron facial palsy in the ongoing pandemic of COVID-19. Cases with neurological features suggestive of facial palsy therefore should be suspected of acute COVID-19 infection based on other pertinent findings of COVID-19 infection and thus polymerase chain reaction testing should be done. Keywords case reports; COVID-19; facial palsy.
