Causes And Complications Of Bell's Palsy

Bell's palsy is a form of facial paralysis in which typically, only one side is affected. However, in rare cases, the disease can affect both sides of the face at once. In Bell's palsy, the patient has little control over facial expression, and their face may appear to droop on one side as a result. Patients with Bell's palsy often look similar to someone who has had a stroke, but strokes and Bell's palsy are two different conditions. The exact cause of this disease is not known for sure, but it may be the result of certain viral infections. It affects both sexes about equally. Bell's palsy can be managed, but it can't be cured. The condition is usually self-limiting.
