Peripheral facial palsy, characterized by sudden weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles, can arise from various etiologies, including viral infections. While Ramsay Hunt syndrome is well-established in clinical practice, Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) infection leading to facial nerve palsy in pediatric patients remains relatively uncommon.This comprehensive case report documents the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and outcomes of a 10-year-old boy who developed left peripheral facial palsy following a primary Varicella infection. The report underscores the importance of timely recognition and tailored management approaches in achieving a complete remission of symptoms in pediatric patients.
