Porphyria is an uncommon disease caused by the deficient activity of a heme biosynthetic enzyme, which presents clinically with neurological and psychiatric symptoms. To our knowledge, this is the first report describing porphyria in a case with the predominant bilateral facial paralysis without clearly disclosing other already known neurological manifestations.
