Abstract
Facial palsy is a neurological emergency with a wide spectrum of aetiologies. The term ‘alternating facial palsy’, a very rare presentation, refers to facial paralysis, the onset of which occurs at different points in time on both sides of the face. It can occur in systemic vasculitis, trauma, tumours and infectious diseases. We report the case of a middle-aged female who presented with complaints of alternating facial palsy and the diligent journey that we took to finally reach a diagnosis of Lyme neuroborreliosis.
