“…The occurrence of convulsions, and also of an isolated lower motor neurone facial weakness (Clarke and Murphy, 1956), appears to have been largely independent of other neurological manifestations. Fits recurred in one patient, and were also recorded later in four others who had not had any convulsions previously; all these were cases in which the blood pressure was difficult to control.…”

“…Since that time isolated cases have been reported, and in 1933 Griffith reviewed the published reports, and described 9 patients, of whom 3 were children. Clarke and Murphy (1956) reviewed 190 patients with malignant hypertension, and found 8 with isolated cranial nerve palsies; 7 of these had a facial paralysis.…”

“…7,9 In contrast, a study of 190 adult patients reported presence of isolated facial nerve palsy in only 2.6% of the subjects. 10 Interestingly, the majority of this association is reported in pediatric population. 7,9 From another point of view, hypertension is attributed to only 5.4% of acquired facial palsy.…”

Bell's palsy is the most common cause of acquried unilateral facial nerve palsy in childhood. Although the diagnosis depends on the exclusion of less common causes such as infectious, traumatic, malignancy associated and hypertension associated etiologies, pediatricians tend to diagnose idiopatic Bell's palsy whenever a child admits with acquired facial weakness. In this report, we present an eight year old girl, presenting with reccurent and alternant facial palsy as the first symptom of systemic hypertension. She had underwent steroid treatment without measuring blood pressure that could worsen hypertension. Clinicians should be aware of this association and not neglect to measure the blood pressure before considering steroid therapy for Bell's palsy. In addition, the less common causes of acquired facial palsy should be kept in mind, especially when reccurent and alternant courses occur.
