Abstrakt: Facial nerve pathology in children has devastating functional and psychosocial consequences. Facial palsy occurs less commonly in children than adults with a greater proportion caused by congenital causes. Most pediatric patients have normal life expectancy and few comorbidities and dynamic restoration of facial expression is prioritized. This article will focus on the unique aspects of care for facial palsy in the pediatric population.
