Abstract

Since the majority of cases with unilateral peripheral facial palsy are idiopathic, radiological studies such as CT or MRI are not usually recommended for further evaluation. We report a patient with peripheral facial palsy caused by minor salivary gland tumor which was demonstrated by appropriate imaging study.
