We report the case of a 45 years old woman who experienced two episodes of facial palsy, first on the left side, then on the other. This particular case allows us to discuss the diagnostic process and clinical reasoning to follow in front of this symptomatology -using a didactic questioning- and to briefly review the anatomy of the seventh cranial nerve. Treatment and possible complications are also discussed.
