Bilateral facial nerve paralysis with craniofacial trauma.
Bilateral facial paralysis (BFP) is a very rare condition, unlike its unilateral counterpart. Causes of BNP include a wide variety of diseases and its differential diagnosis can be challenging. We report a case of BFP secondary to craniofacial trauma, with unilateral orbitozygomatic and bilateral temporal bone fractures.
