Abstract
Bell's palsy is the most common facial nerve disease and has a sudden onset. It is an acute unilateral paralysis of the seventh cranial nerve of unknown etiology. Patients with Bell's palsy present with facial weakness, inability to keep an eye closed, inability to keep food in the buccal vestibule, impairment of taste and lacrimation. Untreated Bell's palsy leaves some patients with major facial dysfunction and a reduced quality of life. In most of the cases there is partial to complete recovery which occurs spontaneously in 4 to 6 months. We present here a systematic review of two cases with manifestation of Bell's palsy which includes clinical features, differential diagnosis, treatment and referrals to neurosurgeon if required.
