Abstract

Recurrent facial palsy is noted infrequently in the literature. We present a comparative study of recurrent Bell's palsy (RBP) with regard to non-recurrent Bell's palsy (NRBP). Afterwards we compare among RBP cases those of ipsilateral recurrence (RRBP) to those of contralateral one (ARBP). We constate that non-recurrent Bell'palsy formes behave similarly to the contralateral recurrent forms.
