Abstract
Idiopathic peripheral facial palsy (Bell’s palsy) is a common neuropathy that results from an intrinsic lesion of the seventh cranial nerve. To date, many hypotheses have been presented to explain the etiology of this disorder [1, 2]. However, since the prognosis of facial paralysis is generally good and postmortem studies are quite rare [3], it is difficult to establish the true pathologic nature of Bell’s palsy. Even the site along the facial nerve of the lesion is still uncertain.
