Parálisis facial bilateral con probable colestasis en paciente pediátrico resuelto con acupuntura, reporte de un caso

Facial paralysis is a neurological condition characterised by a sudden paralysis of the muscles innervated by the seventh cranial nerve. Although it is more common in adults, the paediatric population is not exempt from presenting with it, and the bilateral form being even rarer. The case is presented of a 13-year-old boy with bilateral facial paralysis. The enzyme markers suggested cholestasis, but otherwise asymptomatic. It was resolved completely by exclusive treatment with acupuncture.
