Abstract
A 40-year-old woman with Cat-scratch disease sought treatment for neuroreti nitis OD and right peripheral facial nerve palsy. To our knowledge, this is the first case of an adult with a peripheral facial nerve palsy from Cat-s cratch disease and the first case of a patient with both neuroretinitis and peripheral facial nerve palsy.
