A Case of Pediatric Facial Nerve Palsy Caused by Mumps Virus
There are many causes of pediatric facial nerve palsy, but facial palsy caused by mumps virus is rather rare. Although the prognosis of pediatric facial nerve palsy is better than that of facial palsy in adults, some cases fail to show complete healing or develop pathological synergy, which can significantly reduce the quality of life. In this report, we describe a case of pediatric facial nerve palsy caused by mumps virus.
