This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G51.0 - other international versions of ICD-10 G51.0 may differ. A syndrome characterized by the acute onset of unilateral facial paralysis which progresses over a 2-5 day period. Weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscle and resulting incomplete eye closure may be associated with corneal injury.
In rare cases (<1%), it can occur on both sides resulting in total facial paralysis. A person attempting to show his teeth and raise his eyebrows with Bell's palsy on his right side (left side of the image). Inclusion Terms are a list of concepts for which a specific code is used.
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 .
G51. 0 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Bell's palsy is also known as acute peripheral facial palsy of unknown cause. It can occur at any age. The exact cause is unknown. Experts think it's caused by swelling and inflammation of the nerve that controls the muscles on one side of the face.
Facial nerve paralysis is an inability to move the muscles that control smiling, blinking, and other facial movements. This condition can affect a person's ability to convey emotion. Most of the time, facial paralysis is limited to one side of the face.

Paresis is a reduction in muscle strength with a limited range of voluntary movement. Paralysis (-plegia) is a complete inability to perform any movement.
Paresis involves the weakening of a muscle or group of muscles. It may also be referred to as partial or mild paralysis. Unlike paralysis, people with paresis can still move their muscles. These movements are just weaker than normal.
The symptoms of Bell's palsy can vary in severity, from mild weakness to total paralysis. The more inflammation and compression the facial nerve is exposed to, the more severe the paralysis tends to be, and the longer it takes for the nerve to heal and regain function.
Patients with a Bell's Palsy will present with varying severity of painless unilateral lower motor neuron (LMN) weakness of the facial muscles (Fig. 2). Depending on the severity and the proximity of the nerve affected, it can also result in: Inability to close their eye (temporal and zygomatic branches)
Bell's palsy is a peripheral palsy of the facial nerve that results in muscle weakness on one side of the face. Affected patients develop unilateral facial paralysis over one to three days with forehead involvement and no other neurologic abnormalities.
If the forehead is not affected (i.e. the patient is able to raise fully the eyebrow on the affected side) then the facial palsy is likely to be an upper motor neuron (UMN) lesion. Paralysis which includes the forehead, such that the patient is unable to raise the affected eyebrow, is a lower motor neuron (LMN) lesion.
Bell's palsy is a form of facial paralysis resulting from a dysfunction of the cranial nerve VII (the facial nerve) causing an inability to control facial muscles on the affected side. Often the eye in the affected side cannot be closed.

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 351.0 was previously used, G51.0 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
Right facial nerve disorder. Clinical Information. A disorder characterized by involvement of the facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve). A non-neoplastic or neoplastic disorder affecting the facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve). Diseases of the facial nerve or nuclei. Pontine disorders may affect the facial nuclei or nerve fascicle.
Diseases of the facial nerve or nuclei. Pontine disorders may affect the facial nuclei or nerve fascicle. The nerve may be involved intracranially, along its course through the petrous portion of the temporal bone, or along its extracranial course.
