Résumé : | COVID-19 has been associated with multiple neurological manifestations. Coronaviruses are known to have a neurotropic propensity, possibly leading to various neurological complications, including peripheral facial paralysis (PFP). However, the pathogenic mechanisms underlying neurological symptoms in COVID-19 are not completely understood. This report presents the first published case of facial palsy in an otherwise healthy child secondary to infection with the novel coronavirus SARS-Cov-2, with reflections on the natural course and the role of physical and rehabilitation medicine in this form of PFP. Thus, PFP may also be a manifestation of COVID-19 and in the current epidemiological context, physicians evaluating patients with facial palsy should exclude infection with SARS-Cov-2 to prevent diagnostic delays and further transmission of the disease. These patients may have a slower recovery and worse prognosis as compared with those with Bell's palsy. Thus, rehabilitation needs to be initiated promptly, and close follow-up must be assured to identify and address early complications. |
