Abstract

BELL’S PALSY- A PSYCHOLOGICALLY DISTRESSING CONDITION-OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE

Dr. Shamimul Hasan* and Dr. Shazina Saeed

ABSTRACT

Bell’s palsy is an acute onset facial nerve paralysis of unknown etiology, although, herpes virus has largely been implicated as a causative agent. The muscle weakness is abrupt, unilateral within first day, resulting in numbness and pain around the ear, taste and sound alterations. Diagnosis is usually made by excluding other causes of facial nerve paralysis. Majority of the cases show spontaneous recovery. Corticosteroids and antivirals may be beneficial, although, physical therapy, acupuncture, botulinum toxin and hyperbaric oxygen therapy may also play a role in the management of this psychologically distressing condition.

Keywords: Bells Palsy, facial paralysis, herpes Virus infection, corticosteroids, antiviral therapy.
