title: [Bilateral peripheral facial nerve palsy in acute poisoning with ethylene glycol].
abstract: Acute poisonings with polyethylene glycol become more and more frequent. The acute poisoning with polyethylene glycol leads to a considerable metabolic acidosis and acute renal failure. Usually there is no peripheral nervous system involvement. Two cases of the bilateral facial nerve palsy in patients with renal failure due polyethylene glycol poisoning are presented. It seems that it is the first report on the lesions to facial nerve involvement in the course of the acute polyethylene glycol poisoning.
