Zusammenfassung
Nerve conduction studies of the facial nerve with electric and magnetic stimulation within three days after onset of Bell's palsy provide information about the differential diagnosis of the etiology, particularly with regard to borreliosis as a specifically treatable cause. Canalicular hypoexcitability is considered as a very specific finding for (idiopathic) Bell's palsy in the literature. A 38-year-old man presented with a moderate facial palsy of the left side one month after a tick bite on the thigh with erythema which had been treated with roxithromycine for 10 days. No other neurological abnormalities coul…
