    2. Facial Nerve Paralysis Causes
  2. Definitions
    1. Bell's Palsy (Facial Nerve Palsy)
      1. Idiopathic, acute Facial Nerve Paralysis
  3. Background: History
    1. Named for Sir Charles Bell (1774-1842) who first described the syndrome
  4. Epidemiology
    1. Incidence: 15-30 per 100,000 per year (45,000 per year in U.S.)
    2. No gender predominance
    3. Incidence peaks at age 40-49 years
  5. Pathophysiology
    1. Facial Nerve inflammation typically at Geniculate Ganglion (risk of ischemia, demyelination)
    2. Associated with Herpesvirus infection in 30% of cases
  6. Risk Factors
    1. Diabetes Mellitus (comorbid in 10% of cases)
    2. Pregnancy (associated with 3 fold increased risk)
    3. Herpesvirus infection (comorbid in 30% of cases)
      1. Herpes Simplex Virus
      2. Varicella Zoster Virus
      3. Epstein-Barr Virus
  7. History: Red Flags suggestive of other Facial Nerve Paralysis Cause
    1. Gradual onset over >2 weeks
      1. Suggests mass lesion
    2. Forehead not involved
      1. Suggests Central Nervous System cause (supranuclear lesion)
      2. Facial Nerve motor nucleus is divided
        1. Dorsal aspect (forehead innervation) and ventral aspect (lower facial innervation)
        2. Both sides of the brain provide input to the dorsal aspect (forehead)
          1. Hence lack of forehead involvement implies an Upper Motor Neuron Lesion
        3. Only one side of the brain provides input to the ventral aspect (lower face)
    3. Bilateral involvement
      1. Suggests autoimmune Polyneuropathy
      2. Lyme Disease
    4. Recent new medications (e.g. Influenza Vaccine)
    5. Lyme Disease Risk Factors (Tick Bite, endemic Lyme Disease region during peak season)
      1. Lyme Disease
    6. Fever
      1. Consider infectious cause such as Otitis Media
    7. Rash
      1. Vesicular rash (Herpes Zoster, Ramsay Hunt Syndrome)
      2. Erythema Migrans (Lyme Disease)
    8. Hearing Loss and Vestibular Symptoms or Ataxia
      1. Acoustic Neuroma
    9. Children (esp. children age <5 years)
      1. Otitis Media
      2. Trauma
      3. Herpes Simplex Virus
      4. Varicella Zoster Virus
      5. Lyme Disease
      6. Malignancy (esp. Leukemia, Lymphoma, Brain Tumor)
        1. Associated with a 0.7% risk in children age <5 years (contrast with 0.3% overall)
        2. Evaluate for Hepatosplenomegaly and Lymphadenopathy, and ensure close follow-up

      5. Vagal nerve motor weakness (20%)
      6. Decreased Lacrimation (17%)
      7. Trigeminal Nerve motor weakness (3%)
      8. Synkinesis (e.g. mouth twitching while blinking, or winking while smiling)
    2. References
      1. Adour (1982) N Engl J Med 307: 348-51 [PubMed]
  10. Signs: General
    1. Preserved facial Sensation
      1. However hypoesthesia or dysesthesia is common (see above)
    2. Mouth and nasolabial changes
      1. Loss of facial creases and nasolabial fold
      2. Corner of mouth droops
    3. Eye changes
      1. No closure or decreased closure of upper Eyelid
      2. Lower Eyelid sag
      3. Decreased tear production
    4. No furrow over forehead (forehead appears flattened)
      1. Critical to recognize when the forehead and Eyelid are not involved
      2. Lack of forehead and Eyelid involvement suggests an Upper Motor Neuron Lesion such as a CVA
  11. Signs: Facial Nerve Grading (House-Brackman)
    1. Grade 1: Normal Facial Nerve Function
    2. Grade 2: Mild Facial Nerve Dysfunction
      1. Gross

  12. Differential Diagnosis
    1. See Facial Nerve Paralysis Causes
  13. Labs
    1. Labs are not indicated in isolated peripheral Facial Nerve Paralysis
    2. Serum Glucose is not routinely recommended
      1. Diabetes Mellitus does not cause Bell's Palsy, and is simply a predisposing factor
    3. Lyme Antibody titer is not routinely recommended
      1. Lyme peripheral facial palsy is almost always associated with other findings (e.g. Arthritis, facial swelling, rash)
      2. Isolated Facial Nerve Palsy is not typically due to Lyme Disease
      3. However, consider empiric therapy for Lyme Disease and lyme test with risk factors
        1. Bilateral Facial Nerve involvement (high risk, treat as Lyme Disease while testing)
        2. Known recent deer Tick Bite
        3. Erythema Migrans (diagnostic without Lyme Titer)
        4. Peak season in endemic Lyme Disease region

  14. Imaging: MRI Head
    1. Benefits
      1. MRI Identifies central causes (Schwannoma, Hemangioma, meningioma and Cholesteatoma)
      2. MRI offers prognostic information based on nerve contrast enhancement
    2. Indications
      1. Suspected central cause (see Red Flags above)
      2. Persistent or progressive peripheral Facial Nerve Palsy lasting >2 months
      3. Facial twitching or spasm
  15. Management: Loss of Blink Reflex
    1. Rewetting the eye
      1. Frequent use of preservative-free artificial tears (every 15 to 30 minutes)
      2. Refresh PM ointment six times daily
    2. Protective glasses with side pieces
      1. Use in outdoors, drafty, dusty areas
      2. Alternatively can use eye shield or cup
    3. Avoid grinding, sanding, or sawing
    4. At night:
      1. Apply bland ointment (Refresh PM, Lacri-Lube)
      2. Tape eye shut
    5. Ophthalmology Consultation indicated for incomplete Eyelid closure persisting for weeks
      1. Risk of permanent ocular injury from drying
  16. Management: Corticosteroids and Antimicrobials
    1. Approach
      1. Start Corticosteroid within 72 hours of onset
      2. Antiviral may be considered in moderate to severe cases (House-Brackman Grade 4 and above)
      3. Consider Lyme Disease management if suggested by history or exam
        1. Doxycycline (preferred) 100 mg bid or Amoxicillin 500 mg tid for 14-21 days
    2. High dose Corticosteroids: Prednisone or Prednisolone (primary intervention)
      1. Adult: 60-80 mg orally daily for 7 days
      2. Child: 2 mg/kg/day (up to adult dosing) for 7 days
      3. Salinas (2010) Cochrane Database Syst Rev (3):CD001942 +PMID:20238317 [PubMed]
    3. Antiviral agents (optional)
      1. Mechanism
        1. Based on reactivated HSV hypothesis
      2. Indications
        1. Findings consistent with Herpes Zoster, herpes simplex or Ramsay Hunt Syndrome (e.g. vesicular rash)
        2. Antiviral may be considered in moderate to severe cases (House-Brackman Grade 4 and above)
      3. Efficacy of empiric antiviral use (excluding cases of herpetic, vesicular rashes which should be treated)
        1. Original studies showed synergistic benefit with antivirals in combination with Corticosteroids
          1. More recent studies show primary improvement with Corticosteroids
          2. Only marginal added benefit with antivirals
        2. Reasonable to offer antivirals in moderate to severe cases
          1. However patients should be counseled on low efficacy of antivirals
      4. Agents
        1. Acyclovir
          1. Adult: 400 mg five times per day for 7 days
          2. Child (>2 years): 80 mg/kg daily (max: 3200 mg/day) divided every 6 hours for 5 days
        2. Valacyclovir
          1. Age >12 years: 1 gram orally three times daily for 7 days

  17. Management: Associated Conditions
    1. Otitis Media or Mastoiditis Complications
      1. IV antibiotics
      2. Otolaryngology Consultation for possible wide incision of Tympanic Membrane
    2. Herpes Zoster Oticus (Ramsay Hunt Syndrome)

Facial paralysis (C0015469)

Definition (NCI) Partial or complete paralysis of the facial muscles of one side of a person's face. It is caused by damage to the seventh cranial nerve. It is usually temporary but it may recur.
Definition (MSH) Severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function. This condition may result from central or peripheral lesions. Damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles. FACIAL NERVE DISEASES generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness. NEUROMUSCULAR JUNCTION DISEASES and MUSCULAR DISEASES may also cause facial paralysis or paresis.
Definition (CSP) severe or complete loss of facial muscle motor function; this condition may result from central or peripheral lesions; damage to CNS motor pathways from the cerebral cortex to the facial nuclei in the pons leads to facial weakness that generally spares the forehead muscles; facial nerve diseases generally results in generalized hemifacial weakness; neuromuscular junction diseases and muscular diseases may also cause facial paralysis.

Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Bell's palsy is the most common cause of facial paralysis. It usually affects just one side of the face. Symptoms appear suddenly and are at their worst about 48 hours after they start. They can range from mild to severe and include

  • Twitching
  • Weakness
  • Paralysis
  • Drooping eyelid or corner of mouth
  • Drooling
  • Dry eye or mouth
  • Excessive tearing in the eye
  • Impaired ability to taste

Scientists think that a viral infection makes the facial nerve swell or become inflamed. You are most likely to get Bell's palsy if you are pregnant, diabetic or sick with a cold or flu.

Three out of four patients improve without treatment. With or without treatment, most people begin to get better within 2 weeks and recover completely within 3 to 6 months.

Definition (MSHCZE) Bellova paréza – izolovaná jednostranná obrna lícního nervu (n. facialis). Vzniká náhle, někdy jí předchází prochlazení či virové onemocnění. (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2013 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ )
Definition (MSH) A syndrome characterized by the acute onset of unilateral FACIAL PARALYSIS which progresses over a 2-5 day period. Weakness of the orbicularis oculi muscle and resulting incomplete eye closure may be associated with corneal injury. Pain behind the ear often precedes the onset of paralysis. This condition may be associated with HERPESVIRUS 1, HUMAN infection of the facial nerve. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1376)
