Bell's palsy .. see also updated version ( pdf - Jan 2003 ) What is Bell's palsy? It is a condition where the muscles on one side of the face become paralysed because of a fault in the nerve (called the facial nerve) that controls those muscles. We are not certain what causes this problem, although a viral infection affecting the nerve or the nearby ear may be a cause in some instances. The facial nerve leaves the brain through a very small hole in the base of the skull near the ear. The nerve becomes swollen, and because of the tight fit in this hole it does not work properly. What are the symptoms? The main symptom, which comes on quite suddenly (maybe overnight), is weakness of one side of the face. The corner of the mouth droops, the eye cannot close properly and actions of the face such as smiling and frowning look out of shape. Some ear pain may be felt just before the problem develops. How common is Bell's palsy? Each year about 1 person in 2000 gets Bell's palsy. It can occur at any age, but is most common in young adults. What is the outcome?
