Abstract

New corona virus named as COVID-19 can presented not only by respiratory symptoms, but also with other organs involvement such as gastrointestinal, cardiac, renal and neurological symptoms. We reported a patient who presented with peripheral facial nerve palsy and evaluations revealed COVID-19 infection. We suggest from this case, that COVID-19 infection may be a potential cause of facial paralysis and during this terrible pandemic, neurologists will need to be vigilant for the any neurological manifestation or neurological complications of covid-19.
