Familial Bell's palsy is uncommon and its genetic pattern is not well established. In this report, four female members of one family, the patient, her mother, the maternal aunt, and the maternal grandmother, with Bell's palsy are described. In three, the onset was juvenile at the age of 12. The possibility is raised that hormonal metabolic changes of puberty when associated with genetic predisposition may play a role in causing Bell's palsy.
家族性贝尔麻痹并不常见，其遗传模式尚未完全明确。在本报告中，描述了一个家族中的四名女性成员，即患者本人、她的母亲、姨妈和外祖母，她们都患有贝尔麻痹。其中三人发病于青少年时期，年龄为12岁。由此提出一种可能性，即青春期的激素代谢变化与遗传易感性相关时，可能在贝尔麻痹的发病中起作用。
