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.
Central facial palsy (colloquially referred to as central seven) is a symptom or finding characterized by paralysis or paresis of the lower half of one side of the face. It usually results from damage to upper motor neurons of the facial nerve....Central facial palsySpecialtyNeurology1 more row
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.
What is Bell's Palsy? Bell's palsy, also known as idiopathic facial palsy, is a form of temporary facial paralysis or weakness on one side of the face.
The facial muscles are innervated peripherally (infranuclear innervation) by the ipsilateral 7th cranial nerve and centrally (supranuclear innervation) by the contralateral cerebral cortex. Central innervation tends to be bilateral for the upper face (eg, forehead muscles) and unilateral for the lower face.
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.
Paresis describes weakness or partial paralysis. In contrast, both paralysis and the suffix -plegia refer to no movement.
A central paresis involves damage to the brain or spinal cord. Peripheral paresis involves a nerve which is damaged along its course in the arms or legs. Peripheral pareses can affect one or more nerves. Examples of isolated pareses are pareses of the radial, peroneus, or facial nerve.
The most important factor when considering the differential diagnosis of facial nerve palsy is whether the lesion is LMN or UMN. Due to bilateral cortical innervation of the muscles of the upper face, only LMN lesions will result in complete facial paralysis, although this is not always the case.
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. It could be caused by a reaction that occurs after a viral infection.
Compared with Bell's palsy (facial paralysis without rash), patients with Ramsay Hunt syndrome often have more severe paralysis at onset and are less likely to recover completely.

An inability to move the muscles of the face on one or both sides is known as facial paralysis. Facial paralysis can result from nerve damage due to congenital (present at birth) conditions, trauma or disease, such as stroke, brain tumor or Bell's palsy.
Facial nerve damage can be repaired in many cases. The success rate depends on the extent and the duration of the nerve damage. The sooner it is identified and treated appropriately, the better the prognosis.
