Bell's palsy causes temporary paralysis, or palsy, of facial muscles. It occurs when a condition, such as a viral infection, causes inflammation and swelling of the seventh cranial nerve (the nerve that controls facial muscles). With Bell's palsy, your face droops on one side or, rarely, both sides.
Overview. Bell's palsy is a condition that causes sudden weakness in the muscles on one side of the face. In most cases, the weakness is temporary and significantly improves over weeks. The weakness makes half of the face appear to droop.
Face drooping is one of the most common signs of a stroke. One side of the face may become numb or weak. This symptom may be more noticeable when the patient smiles.
When a patient is diagnosed with facial paralysis, a cause for the paralysis can be identified. In this instance, facial paralysis can be linked to a tumor, infection, or nerve damage. In cases of Bell's palsy, the disorder appears without any reason.
brainstemThe two 7th Cranial Nerves (CN VII) are located on either side of the brainstem, at the top of the medulla. They are mixed cranial nerves with BOTH sensory and motor function. CN VII controls the face and is mainly FACE MOVEMENT with some face sensation.
Paresis is a reduction in muscle strength with a limited range of voluntary movement. Paralysis (-plegia) is a complete inability to perform any movement.
Bell's palsy, also known as idiopathic facial palsy, is a form of temporary facial paralysis or weakness on one side of the face.
Bell's palsy is also known as “acute facial palsy of unknown cause.” It's a condition in which the muscles on one side of your face become weak or paralyzed. It affects only one side of the face at a time, causing it to droop or become stiff on that side. It's caused by some kind of trauma to the seventh cranial nerve.
According to a recent study in the Annals of Emergency Medicine, if a patient cannot move his forehead, then the diagnosis is likely Bell's Palsy. However, a patient who can move his forehead, despite partial paralysis of the face, is significantly more likely to be experiencing a stroke.
ICD-10 code G51. 0 for Bell's palsy is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the nervous system .
A stroke is caused by a blood clot that stops blood flow to the brain or by a blood vessel that ruptures in the brain, while Bell's palsy is linked to facial nerve damage. An estimated 40,000 people in the United States will develop Bell's palsy each year.
