Bells Palsy Case Definition

Definition:
Unilateral facial paralysis of sudden onset. The cause is unknown but is presumed to involve swelling of the seventh (facial) nerve due to immune or viral disease resulting in ischemia and compression of the nerve at the point where it leaves the bony tissue. Characterized by weakness of the entire half of the face followed by paralysis. The patient can not control salivation or lacrimation, and in severe cases can not close the eye on the affected side. Facial expression is distorted.
Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary

Prognosis:
Partial facial paralysis is invariably resolved within several months. Likelihood of complete recovery after total paralysis varies from 90% to 20%.
Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary

Treatment:
Protection of exposed eye by temporary patching or use of methyl-cellulose drops. Definitive treatment is aimed at decompressing facial nerve before atrophy occurs. Corticosteroids, such as oral prednisone 60 to 80 mg/day for 1 weak, which are then reduced over the second week, appear successful.
