Bell's Palsy in Pregnancy

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1969

Pathology of Bell's Palsy

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1972
Segmental herniation of the facial nerve after epineural incision is regarded as proof that idiopathic Bell's palsy is due to elevated pressure caused by anoxia secondary to local vasospasm. However, epineural biopsies—taken at decompressions—have failed to reveal edema or other lesions.
