Abstract

Facial palsy is a rare neurological complication of chickenpox. A 5- year-old girl exhibited a right facial palsy followed by the appearance of the characteristic chicken pox exanthem. Subsequently she suffered a left facial palsy. In this patient both pathophysiological mechanisms responsible and their relation to the phase of infection are illustrated. Conclusion: Facial palsy as a complication of chickenpox can result from pre-eruptive haematogenous or neurogenous spread of varicella-zoster virus.
