Varicella or chickenpox is usually regarded as a self-limiting disease, but occasionally it may lead to irreversible neurological complications. Isolated lower motor neuron facial nerve palsy is a rare complication of varicella, with very few cases reported from the Indian subcontinent. We report one such case, where the patient developed facial palsy after healing of cutaneous lesions and recovered completely with oral corticosteroids.
水痘或带状疱疹通常被认为是一种自限性疾病，但偶尔也可能导致不可逆的神经并发症。孤立性下运动神经元性面神经麻痹是水痘的一种罕见并发症，在印度次大陆报道的病例很少。我们报告了这样一个病例，患者在皮肤病变愈合后出现面瘫，并经口服皮质类固醇治疗完全恢复。
