Peripheral facial paralysis is a common mononeuropathy in adults. It is less frequent in children, but is very upsetting for parents when it occurs. Its causes in children are similar to those found in adults, the most common being idiopathic. However, secondary facial paralysis is the most frequent cause in children. The results of a 4-year follow-up of 29 cases of peripheral facial paralysis in 26 children age 14 and under are reported. The causes, evolution, treatment, recuperation, care, and rate of admission are reviewed. Results are compared to those found in the follow-up of 196 adult cases of peripheral facial paralysis made by the authors.
