Abstract
Lyme disease is a very common infectious disease worldwide. The seventh cranial nerve palsy occurred in 9% of Lyme disease cases and the majority of them present as unilateral facial palsy. We present a rare case of bilateral facial palsy in Lyme disease due to Borrelia burgdorferi infection. A total of eleven cases of Lyme disease with bilateral facial palsy reported in literature were summarized and compared to our case. The diagnosis and management of Lyme disease with facial nerve palsy were also discussed in this article.
