    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Bell's palsy is a common neurological condition affecting facial nerves in children.
    • Recurrence rates and associated factors in pediatric cases require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the clinical characteristics, treatment, and recovery outcomes of Bell's palsy in a pediatric cohort.
    • To compare findings with existing literature on childhood Bell's palsy, focusing on recurrence.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 54 pediatric patients diagnosed with Bell's palsy.
    • Data collection included age, sex, clinical presentation, treatment modalities, and recovery status.
    • Analysis of recurrence in three male patients with two episodes of Bell's palsy.

    Main Results:

    • The study diagnosed Bell's palsy in 54 children.
    • Three boys experienced recurrent Bell's palsy (two occurrences).
    • Detailed data on age, sex, treatment, and recovery outcomes were compiled.

    Conclusions:

    • Bell's palsy in children presents with specific demographic and clinical patterns.
    • Understanding recurrence is crucial for managing pediatric Bell's palsy.
    • Findings contribute to the literature on childhood facial nerve palsy.
