In cases of acute unilateral facial weakness, a careful and systematic evaluation is necessary to identify the cause. Idiopathic facial paralysis (Bell's palsy) is a diagnosis of exclusion. It is also the most common cause of unilateral facial weakness seen by primary care physicians.

THE TERM Bell's palsy denotes facial paresis occurring suddenly in an otherwise healthy person. It is not due to trauma. It may be due to virus infection, as in the Ramsey-Hunt syndrome. (Patients with the Ramsey-Hunt syndrome are not considered in this report.) It may also be due to neighborhood focal infection, in which case its onset is more gradual,

We report a woman with four episodes of Bell's palsy. Usual symptoms of idiopathic unilateral facial paralysis include subacute facial palsy, hyperacusis on the affected side, postauricular pain on the affected side, altered sensation of taste, and partial trigeminal distribution hypesthesias.

Bell's palsy is a common outpatient problem, and while the diagnosis is usually straightforward, a number of diagnostic pitfalls can occur, and a lengthy differential diagnosis exists. Recognition and management of Bell's palsy relies on knowledge of the anatomy and function of the various motor and nonmotor components of the facial nerve.

The term "Bell's palsy" is commonly used to indicate the idiopathic type of facial paralysis. Of late, there seems to be general agreement that this disorder is the result of vasospasm of the nutrient vessels of the nerve with the usual effect of anoxia, that is, increased permeability of the vessel wall with consequent accumulation of interstitial ...

AbstractObjectiveAlthough recurrent facial palsy was first reported in 1871, the aetiology, definitions, classifications, pathogenesis, treatment options and prognosis have not been clearly determined. There have been no systematic reviews and meta‐analyses of recurrent Bell's palsy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical manifestations

Twenty-nine cases of Bell's palsy in a single family appear to suggest an autosomal dominant inheritance. In addition, a review of 230 consecutive patients with Bell's palsy revealed a 6% incidence of a positive family history of facial paralysis. These findings implicate inheritance in the etiology of Bell's palsy.

P E R I ~" I-I E R A L facial paralysis was described as early as 1821 by Charles Bell , 1 and the term "Bell's palsy" is still in general use. The term has been applied to any facial palsy of the peripheral type, the etiology of which is obscure. 2, 3 I t is usually unilateral and results from an intrinsic lesion of the seventh cranial nerve.

Bell's palsy is a self-limiting idiopathic rapid onset facial palsy that is non-life-threatening and has a generally favorable prognosis. Facial paralysis can be caused by numerous conditions, all of which should be excluded before a diagnosis of Bell's palsy is reached.

Facial paralysis of abrupt onset is common. Few cases are associated with otic infection, and there is debate about possibly causal relations with diabetes, hypertension and pregnancy. Almost all cases are idiopathic (Bell's palsy). One theory ascribes the initial insult to unstable blood vessels, susceptible to excessive vasoconstriction on exposure ...
