BP has been associated with various other viral agents. Its evidence in patients with COVID\u201019 signifies the possibility of association between BP and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS\u2010CoV\u20102). This research was undertaken to evaluate the number of published cases of BP as the only major neurological manifestation in patients with COVID\u201019 from March 2020 to December 2021 and to investigate the association of SARS\u2010CoV\u20102 and BP.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>A systematic review of the published English literature was performed using an electronic search in the PubMed\/Medline, Scopus, Research Gate, Research Square, and Google Scholar databases, using keywords such as \"COVID\u201019\" OR\/AND \"SARS\u2010CoV\u20102\" OR\/AND \"Bell's palsy\" OR\/AND \"facial nerve palsy\" OR\/AND \"neurological\" OR\/AND \"manifestation\".<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The search strategy revealed 32 relevant publications with a total of 46 patients.
