ABSTRACT

La parálisis facial plantea un diagnóstico diferencial amplio en Pediatría, sobre todo cuando se acompaña de sintomatología que orienta en contra de una parálisis de Bell, por lo que resulta imprescindible realizar una correcta anamnesis. La enfermedad de Lyme es una de las posibles causas de parálisis facial, habiendo sido poco descrita en niños en España. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 11 años con diagnóstico de parálisis facial asociada a infección por B. burgdorferi con evolución favorable tras tratamiento con doxiciclina. (AU)


Facial palsy poses a wide differential diagnosis in pediatrics, especially when it is accompanied by symptoms that make it doubtful whether Bell's palsy is present. It is essential to perform a correct anamnesis to rule out diagnoses that require early detection and treatment to improve the prognosis. Lyme disease (EL) is one of the possible causes of facial palsy, having been seldom described in children in Spain. We present the case of an 11-years-old male with diagnosis of facial palsy associated with B. burgdorferi infection with favorable evolution after treatment with doxycycline. (AU)
