Bell’s palsy, defined as an acute isolated peripheral seventh cranial nerve palsy of unknown etiology, can be accompanied by several symptoms of cranial polyneuropathy such as facial hypesthesia of cranial nerve V or IX, retroauricular pain, hearing impairment, vagal motor weakness, and dizziness. Though vestibular neuritis also can be developed after Bell’s palsy, the interval between the two diseases tends to be a few days. We are now to report an unusual case of a 33-year-old female who presented with ipsilateral vestibular neuritis, developed three weeks after the onset of Bell’s palsy with review of literatures.
