Abstract

Peripheral facial paralysis is one of the most common cranial neuropathies. Many factors in the etiology of peripheral facial nerve paralysis are not found in approximately two thirds of the cases and are called "idiopathic".Lacunarinfarctsandhemorrhageholding the lower part of the pons are rare causes of infranuclear facial paralysis. A 55-year-old man presented with sudden onset right facial paralysis. Medical history was significant for poorly controlled diabetes mellitus. The patient was initially treated for presumptive Bell's palsy. Radiologic evaluation was performed on the patient whose clinical follow-up showed progression. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and internal auditory canal showed haemorrhage at the pons. There are few cases in the literature that cause isolated Bell's palsy, which is caused by life-threatening pontine hemorrhage or infections.Forthisreason,weaimedtosharewiththe literature on why it is one of the few cases we can reach in Pubmed scan our Bell palsy case who is considered as an initial feature, however, during clinical follow-up the pons hemorrhage is detected. In conclusion, physicians should be careful not to miss the etiological factors with rare but serious consequences when following patients with peripheral facial paralysis.

Özet

Periferik fasiyal paralizi en sık karşılaşılan kraniyal nöropatilerden biridir. Periferik fasiyal sinir paralizilerininetyolojisindepekçokfaktörönesürülsede olguların yaklaşık olarak üçte ikisinde neden bulunamamaktadır ve “idiopatik” olarak adlandırılmaktadır.
