Core Tip	Pediatric facial nerve palsy can be congenital or acquired and its etiology can remain unknown. Bell’s palsy is the most frequent form of facial paralysis also in children; about 70% of these cases has a favorable prognosis with spontaneous resolution. An accurate differential diagnosis is necessary to assess the prognosis and the therapeutic options. In Bell’s palsy, the use of oral corticosteroids is recommended also in children, preferably within 3 d from onset. In children presenting a permanent congenital or acquired facial palsy, the therapeutic strategy consists in surgical techniques associated to rehabilitative approaches.
