Abstract

Bell's palsy is a rare disease of facial muscle weakness or paralysis. The disorder is due to inflammation that is directed by the body's immune system against the7th cranial nerve controlling the movement of the face. A specific cause of Bell's palsy is unknown, Finally, it results in inflammatory, demyelinating, ischemic, or compressive processes may impair neural conduction at this site. The main complication was unable to close the eye on the affected side, it is treated with corticosteroids and antivirals.
