Bilateral facial paralysis is an uncommon clinical entity especially in the pediatric age group and occurs frequently as a manifestation of systemic disease. The most important causes are trauma, infectious diseases, neurological diseases, metabolic, neoplastic, autoimmune diseases and idiopathic disease (Bell's palsy). We report a case of an 11-year-old boy presenting with bilateral simultaneous peripheral facial paralysis. All possible infectious causes were excluded and the patient was diagnosed as having Bell's palsy (idiopathic). The most important approach in these cases is to rule out a life-threatening disease.
双侧面瘫是一种罕见的临床病症，尤其在儿童年龄组中，且常作为全身性疾病的一种表现出现。最重要的病因是创伤、传染病、神经疾病、代谢性疾病、肿瘤、自身免疫性疾病和特发性疾病（贝尔麻痹）。我们报告一例11岁男孩同时出现双侧周围性面瘫的病例。所有可能的感染性病因均被排除，该患者被诊断为贝尔麻痹（特发性）。在这些病例中，最重要的方法是排除危及生命的疾病。
