 AB    Human immunodeficiency virus infection frequently involves the
       peripheral or central nervous system. Seven cases of isolated peripheral
       facial palsy that occurred at various stages of the disease are
       reported. The palsy was the first manifestation of the disease in 5
       patients, and revealed it in 3 of them. The palsy involved the right
       side in 6 cases (complete N = 2; incomplete N = 4); it was bilateral in
       one (complete on both sides). Abnormalities of the cerebrospinal fluid
       were present in all patients but differed depending on the stage of the
       retroviral infection. Electroneuromyography defined the type of the
       palsy, principally due to axonotmesis in 4 patients (including the
       bilateral one) and principally to neurapraxia in 3 patients. The outcome
       was good in most cases. The physiopathology remains undetermined.
