Abstract :COVID-19 is an infectious disease caused by a newly discovered coronavirus (SARS-COV-2) that can cause a broad spectrum of symptoms, from asymptomatic to severe respiratory failure. Although the virus mainly affects the respiratory system, it is also known to affect many other systems. Myalgia, hyposmia, anosmia, and Guillain-Barre Syndrome are the most common manifestations due to the peripheral nervous system being affected by the virus. Bell\'s palsy is a unilateral and sudden facial nerve paralysis. Viral infections are most frequently blamed for etiopathogenesis. Bell palsy due to COVID-19 infection has been reported in the literature as a rare complication. In this case, we wanted to emphasize that Bell\'s palsy should be kept in mind among the neurological complications that may develop due to COVID-in in a patient who developed Bell\'s palsy after being diagnosed with COVID-19.
