Abstract

Most facial palsies are lower motor neuron lesions. Occasionally, however, an isolated facial palsy is seen, which appears to be upper motor neuron in nature. Computed tomography demonstrated small deep infarcts in the internal capsular/corona radiata regions. Pure upper motor neuron facial palsy may be another lacunar syndrome due to a lesion in the internal capsule or corona radiata.
