The possibility of recurrence had been thought to be as high as 10 – 20%. These figures have been lowered as more has been learned about conditions that are now diagnosed as other types of facial palsies. Estimates of the rate of recurrence still vary widely, from around 4 – 14%. Most recent reports hover at 5 – 9%. The average timespan between recurrences is 10 years.
