Abstract
Parotitis is inflammation of the parotid gland caused by infection, either virus or bacteria. Facial nerve palsy with an associated parotid mass should always be investigated for underlying neoplasm. Facial nerve palsy is an unusual symptom of inflammation of the parotid gland. We report two cases of unilateral facial paralysis associated with acute parotitis. The patients experience ipsilateral facial paralysis, accompanied by additional symptoms that varied between cases. Infective causes of facial nerve palsy usually have good prognosis. Keywords: Parotid gland, Facial nerve, Facial paralysis; Parotitis, Neoplasm
