Henoch Schonlein Purpura with Facial Palsy

Henoch–Schönlein purpura is an acute vasculitis syndrome. It is a self limited condition with characteristic skin, joint, gastrointestinal, renal, and neurological manifestations. It is more common in children and can be associated with fatal complications such as gastrointestinal bleeding and nephritis. Nervous system involvement in HSP is usually underestimated. Headaches, seizures and mental status changes are the most frequent neurologic symptoms. We experienced a nine years old boy diagnosed as HSP with palpable purpura and developed lower motor neuron left facial palsy four weeks from his diagnosis.
