摘　　要：BACKGROUND Bell’s palsy is an idiopathic facial palsy with an unknown cause,and 75%of patients heal spontaneously.However,the other 25%of patients continue experiencing mild or severe disabilities,resulting in a reduced quality of life.Currently,various treatment methods have been developed to treat this disease.However,there is controversy regarding their effectiveness,and new alternative treatments are needed.CASE SUMMARY The patient suffered from left-sided facial paralysis due to Bell’s palsy for 7 years.The patient received an uncultured umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell transplant eight times for treatment.After follow-up for 32 mo,the paralysis was cured,and there was no recurrence.CONCLUSION Uncultured umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cell transplantation may be a potential treatment for patients with Bell’s palsy who do not spontaneously recover.
