Background: Focal neurological deficits occur in approximately 15% of children with bacterial meningitis. However, cranial nerve involvement such as facial-nerve palsy is uncommon in non-tuberculous bacterial meningitis. Methods: Case Report. Review of the literature was conducted on Pubmed for the search terms: facial nerve palsy and meningitis. Results: We present the case of a 4-year old right-handed girl who presented with a new onset unilateral facial nerve palsy preceded by 5-day history of fever and headaches. The patient had meningeal signs and was identified to have Streptococcal Meningitis. MRI of the brain showed a large previously undiagnosed intranasal encephalocele. The facial palsy resolved within 7 days of antibiotic treatment. Conclusions: Our case represents an unusual combination of facial nerve palsy in context of Streptococcal Meningitis secondary to intranasal encephalocele.
