Rarely, anaphylaxis, myocardial infarction, organ failure, epilepsy and other neurological diseases have been reported. Peripheral facial paralysis is one of the common diseases of the otolaryngology clinic. Although it is usually idiopathic, trauma and tumors are the two most common causes. Topographic and electrophysiological tests are used in the diagnosis. In this presentation, peripheral facial paralysis due to bee sting will be discussed.
