Hospital General Universitario Gregorio Marañón, Madrid.

We report a 34 year old female patient with six episodes of idiopathic right facial palsy, all of wich had total recovery. Idiopathic recurrent facial palsy is a rare entity, with a few cases in the literature. Recurrent facial palsy is usually in the setting of a family history and have both autosomal dominant and recessive inheritance or in the setting of hypertension and diabetes. A review of the literature does not report a previous case with six episodes.
