Popis:	Neonatal facial palsy is usually associated with difficult forceps delivery. Severe oligohydramnios causing difficult labor and delivery and this leading to congenital facial nerve palsy is a rare phenomenon. We present a very rare phenomenon where there was a congenital facial palsy due to neuropraxia caused by compression of facial nerve due to severe oligohydramnios before onset of labor that was subsequently detected following uncomplicated caesarean delivery. CAPSULE: Severe oligohydramnios with engaged head can lead to lower motor neuron palsy in the neonate due to compression effect.
