Recurrent cranial nerve VII palsy as a rare initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus
Cranial neuropathy is a rare occurrence in patients with systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). We described that diagnosed with recurrent
symptoms of facial nerve paralysis is pediatric case with SLE. Her past medical history was six times peripheral facial paralysis. The patient was given prednisolone and hydroxychloroquine with complete resolution of her symptoms within three weeks. She had no recurrence in follow up time. We believe this is the first report of SLE presenting as recurrent facial palsy in children.
