Abstract

A case of facial nerve paralysis in a patient with Kawasaki disease is described, and 17 cases in the literature are reviewed. A female predominance and a high rate of cardiovascular involvement were noted in patients with facial nerve paralysis and Kawasaki disease. The paralysis was self-limited, resolving without treatment in all surviving patients.
