[Follow-up study of auditory evoked brain stem potentials--a contribution to the differential diagnosis of facial paralysis].
The case report of a 5-year-old girl suffering from an acute peripheral facial paralysis is used to discuss the clinical picture of Bell's paralysis. In the present case the sign was due to a brain-stem encephalitis, the diagnosis being based on brain-stem acoustically evoked potentials. Although not significantly influencing further practical procedure the authors consider it worth mentioning that apparently banal "peripheral" facial paralyses can actually be part of complex CNS lesions.
