This is a retrospective analysis of the records of patients with bilateral facial palsy (BFP) encountered in the clinic between 2012 and 2017. Of the 12 cases of BFP, 3 were due to Bell’s palsy, 3 to Guillain Barre syndrome, 2 to trauma, 2 to sarcoidosis, 1 to Miller-Fisher syndrome, and 1 to Lyme disease. The differential diagnosis of BFP includes systemic, infectious, traumatic, neuromuscular, vascular, and toxic causes, as well as idiopathic causes.
