Six Years Old Boy with Post Covid-19 Isolated Palatal Paralysis, A Rare Clinical Case

Abstract

Unilateral acquired isolated palatal paralysis is rarely seen in COVID 19 children with unclear pathogenesis. Post-infectious immune-associated cranial mono-neuropathy is a suggestive theory. Cases due to trauma, tumor, and brainstem lesions have been also reported. The presentation is usually nasal regurgitation and uvular deviation. A case report of acquired isolated palatal palsy in a 6 years old boy is presented below with a good response to treatment.
