ResumoMost cases of facial nerve paresis are idiopathic (Bell's palsy). However, rare and potentially dangerous conditions may present in this manner. We report 2 children presenting with unilateral lower motor neuron facial nerve palsy and hypertension. A diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome was made in both; literature linking facial nerve palsy in childhood with hypertension and Guillain-Barre syndrome is reviewed.
