Abstract EN
Lyme disease is a common disease that is faced by the physician but also acts a mimicker of many other disease processes.
Facial palsies, especially bilateral, are a relatively rare presenting symptom of Lyme disease and may warrant further investigation.
A thorough history and physical examination coupled with precision testing may aid the physician when faced with a patient with the diagnostic dilemma of facial diplegia.
