Abstract

Bells palsy is a benign lower motor neuron facial nerve disorder. Recurrent unilateral Bells palsy is found in about 7% of the facial palsy cases . Alternating bilateral recurrent Bells palsy is relatively uncommon. A review of recent medical literature revealed very few case reports of bilateral recurrent Bells palsy, with none found in Asian neurology medical literature. We report a case of recurrent alternating bilateral Bells palsy ( 3 episodes) in a male patient aged 34 years , was treated conservatively and recovered completely. He is symptom free on follow up till date. We present this case because of its rarity.
