SUMMARY
Bilateral facial palsy (BFP) is a very uncommon entity, particularly in the paediatric age group. Despite its several aetiologies, neuroborreliosis should be suspected, especially in children from endemic areas presenting with acute neurological disease of unknown cause. We present two cases of BFPs as the presenting forms of neuroborreliosis.
