Quinolones, which are broad-spectrum antibiotics, are frequently preferred in the treatment of infections. In infections developing in immunosuppressed patients, side effects of quinolones, which are started empirically without determining the agent and etiology, are also quite common. In this article, central facial paralysis due to ciprofloxacin initiated for anal abscess in an immunosuppressed patient receiving chemotherapy for multiple myeloma is described, and we aim to draw attention to this rare side effect. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case reported in the literature.
