Chronic lymphocytic leukaemia complicated by recurrent Bell's palsy. 1987

J Gibson, and D J Brennan, and H Kronenberg

A patient who presented with a transient right-sided Bell's palsy (lower motor neurone lesion of the facial nerve) and chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) is described. During the following 5 years whilst receiving intermittent treatment for her CLL, the patient experienced two further episodes of Bell's palsy, one on the right side and the other left-sided. Each episode completely resolved. This is the first reported case of recurrent Bell's palsy complicating CLL.
