This patient also discovered for the first time that he had chronic hepatitis B and C infections due to this facial nerve palsy. Radiation therapy greatly relieved the facial pain and facial nerve palsy. This report suggests that hepatologists should consider metastatic
HCC
as a rare but possible cause of new-onset cranial neuropathy in patients with chronic viral hepatitis.
