Abstract EN
Chickenpox, resulting from primary infection by the varicella-zoster virus, is an exanthematous disease very common during childhood and with good prognosis.
However, serious complications, namely, neurological syndromes, may develop during its course, especially in risk groups, including adolescents.
Peripheral facial palsy is a rare neurologic complication that has been previously described.
Conclusion.
We report the case of a teenager with peripheral facial palsy as a complication of chickenpox, aiming to increase the awareness of this rare association.
