COVID-19 pandemic revealed several neurological syndromes related to this infection. We describe the clinical, laboratory, and radiological features of eight patients with COVID-19 who developed peripheral facial palsy during infection. In three patients, facial palsy was the first symptom. Nerve damage resulted in mild dysfunction in five patients and moderate in three. SARS-Cov-2 was not detected in CSF by PCR in any of the samples. Seven out of eight patients were treated with steroids and all patients have complete or partial recovery of the symptoms. Peripheral facial palsy should be added to the spectrum of neurological manifestations associated with COVID-19.

COVID-19 大流行揭示了与这种感染相关的几种神经系统综合征。我们描述了 8 名 COVID-19 患者在感染期间出现周围性面瘫的临床、实验室和放射学特征。在三名患者中，面部麻痹是首发症状。神经损伤导致五名患者出现轻度功能障碍，三名患者出现中度功能障碍。在任何样本中通过 PCR 均未在 CSF 中检测到 SARS-Cov-2。八名患者中有七名接受了类固醇治疗，所有患者的症状都完全或部分恢复。应将周围性面瘫添加到与 COVID-19 相关的神经系统表现谱中。
