Recurrent lower motor neurone facial paralysis in successive pregnancies is a rare phenomenon of which there are few case reports in the literature. There have been two previous reports of recurrent Bell's palsy in two and three successive pregnancies respectively, but it is felt that these should have more appropriately been reported as recurrent lower motor neurone facial paralysis in pregnancy as, by definition, any facial paralysis that recurs should not be classified as Bell's palsy even though Bell himself commented on the association between facial paralysis and pregnancy. We report the first case of recurrent lower motor neurone facial paralysis in four successive pregnancies and review the literature.
反复出现的下运动神经元性面瘫在连续妊娠中是一种罕见现象，文献中仅有少数病例报告。此前分别有过两例和三例连续妊娠中反复出现贝尔麻痹的报告，但有人认为，这些报告更恰当的应归类为妊娠期间反复出现的下运动神经元性面瘫，因为根据定义，任何复发的面瘫即使贝尔本人曾评论过面瘫与妊娠之间的关联，也不应归类为贝尔麻痹。我们报告首例连续四次妊娠中反复出现下运动神经元性面瘫的病例并对文献进行综述。
