Abstract A case of facial palsy was reported initially in 1974 by Murayama [8] as one of the neurological manifestations in Kawasaki disease. Thereafter, an additional nine case have been documented in Japan. This facial palsy, in the revised “Diagnostic Guideline of Kawasaki Disease” released in 1984, has been added recently as one of the neurological signs and symptoms of Kawasaki disease. This is a report on two cases of Kawasaki disease showing facial palsy with indurative oedema during their clinical course, and also a clinical review of the ten previously reported cases of facial palsy complicating Kawasaki disease.
