Cephalic tetanus with left infranuclear facial palsy.

We report a case of 11 years old male who developed trismus associated with left infranuclear facial palsy following injury over forehead. Cephalic tetanus was diagnosed. Rarity of the case as well as mild course it ran, though the incubation period was less than seven days, is the reason for this case report.
