    Author: Ngow HA, Wan Khairina WM, Hamidon BB.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2008 Oct; 49(10):e278-80. PubMed ID: 18946598.
    Abstract:
    Bell's palsy is a benign lower motor neuron facial nerve disorder. It is almost always unilateral. We report a 20-year-old nulliparous woman with five episodes of recurrent Bell's palsy. A review of recent medical literature revealed a paucity of case reports involving an individual with five episodes of recurrent Bell's palsy, with none found in Asian neurology medical literature. Despite the multiple episodes of Bell's palsy recurrences, the patient did not suffer much neurological sequelae from the disease.
