Abstract :
Facial paralysis is seen more commonly in the women during pregnancy compared to their peers. Facial diplegia is a more common condition than facial paralysis. In etiology, many reasons such as Moebius syndrome, Guillain-Barre syndrome, sarcoidosis, infectious mononucleosis, bilateral temporal bone fractures, Lyme disease and multiple sclerosis might be responsible. While facial paralysises are generally observed as idiopathically, a small part of facial diplegias is idiopathic. Diagnosis of idiopathic facial diplegia is possible only after an extensive investigation. In this case, clinical follow-up and treatment of pregnant women diagnosed as idiopathic facial diplegia was evaluated.
