Every year, around 40,000 Americans experience sudden facial paralysis due to Bellâs palsy. This condition causes inflammation of the facial nerve, which commonly causes the muscles on one side of the face to droop. No one knows exactly why Bellâs palsy occurs.
Paralysis of the facial nerve causes a characteristic picture with drooping of one side of the face, inability to wrinkle the forehead, inability to whistle, inability to close the eye and deviation of the mouth toward the other side of the face. Paralysis of the facial nerve is called Bell's palsy.
