Abstract
Bell's palsy is an acute facial paralysis with known association to viral infections. We describe a medically complex 6-year-old male with hyper IgM syndrome who presented with unilateral facial droop and positive SARS-CoV-2 RT-PCR. This is the first reported pediatric case of Bell's palsy in the setting of SARS-CoV-2 infection.
Keywords: Bell’s Palsy; COVID-19; SARS-CoV-2.
