Highlights a potential non-random association between benign intracranial hypertension and Bell's palsy in children.
Benign intracranial hypertension is associated with a variety of underlying disorders, but the pathophysiology of the process is poorly understood. We have encountered three children with benign intracranial hypertension and coexistent, otherwise typical, forms of Bell's palsy, and report this association to alert physicians to the possibility that it is not random.Case ReportsCase 1.

Chutorian et al. (1977) conducted a case report in Benign intracranial hypertension and Bell's palsy (n=3). Benign intracranial hypertension was evaluated on Co-occurrence of benign intracranial hypertension and Bell's palsy. Three children were observed with coexistent benign intracranial hypertension and typical Bell's palsy, suggesting a potentially non-random clinical association.
