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.

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.

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.

Idiopathic facial nerve paralysis, or Bell's palsy, is characterized by the following1: (1) complete or partial paralysis of the entire side of the face, (2) absence of symptoms or signs of other neurologic disorders, and (3) absence of symptoms or signs of disease of the ear or posterior fossa.

BALLANCE and Duel in 1932 1 published their famous paper on the surgery of the facial nerve; in cases of Bell's palsy which did not disappear spontaneously they advocated a decompression of the facial nerve from the stylomastoid foramen to the lateral semicircular canal, a modus operandi which today is generally accepted when it is performed on the ...

On the Pathogenesls of Bell's Palsy
Acta Oto-Laryngologica, 1983The data obtained from the anatomical study of the Fallopian canal, the intraoperative evoked electromyography and the histopathological evaluation of specimens from the greater petrosal nerve support the entrapment neuropathy concept in Bell's palsy.

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 ...

THE MANAGEMENT OF Bell's palsy has long been a source of controversy among neurologists, otologists, and general practitioners. It is fairly well accepted, however, that the small percentage of cases showing early wallerian degeneration of the nerve should be considered for surgical decompression. The earlier these are diagnosed as showing degeneration,

Each year in the UK, around 1 in 5,000 people develop Bell's palsy – a unilateral lower motor neurone facial weakness of rapid onset that can be physically and psychologically disabling.1 While around 71% of patients recover normal function of the facial muscles without treatment, 13% are left with slight weakness and 16% with moderate to severe ...
