Isolated cranial nerve paresis in childhood hepatitis A virus infection is rare. The authors report an instance of concomitant right-hand side palatal and abducens palsy, developing in the course of an otherwise uncomplicated hepatitis A virus infection in a 5-year-old girl. The neurological complications were transient, and she recovered completely with supportive therapy.

Key Words: palatal palsy • abducens palsy • hepatitis A virus
