Sumario:SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is known to present with a variety of features, with the most common being upper and lower respiratory tract symptoms. However, there are emerging reports of COVID-19 infections with extrapulmonary manifestations, including neurological conditions. We report a case of a patient who presented to his primary care physician with symptoms of Bell's Palsy after recovering from a COVID-19 infection. He was given timely and appropriate treatment that resolved symptoms without residual neurological deficits.
