Facial nerve paralysis associated with Kawasaki disease.
Kawasaki disease is a multisystem disorder with varying clinical expression. This is a report on one case of Kawasaki disease which during its clinical course developed facial nerve palsy and spontaneous recovery without specific treatment. It is hoped that this report will serve to remind physicians of the association of facial nerve paralysis with Kawasaki disease.
