Abstract
Peripheral facial nerve paralysis is relatively common in the pediatric age group. However, facial palsy rarely has been documented in patients with m umps parotitis. This case report describes the findings of a 3-year-old Jap anese boy who developed facial palsy immediately after mumps parotitis. Thi s work calls attention to a possible association between mumps parotitis an d facial palsy.
