Bell's palsy is a temporary paralysis of the facial nerve causing an inability to control facial muscles on one side of the face. It is the most common cause of acute facial nerve paralysis and may develop over several days and last several months, with most cases recovering spontaneously. Treatment includes corticosteroids and protecting the affected eye. The facial nerve, cranial nerves 5, 7 and 8 can all be impacted, with cranial nerves 5 and 8 involved in one patient's case of Bell's palsy.

BELL’S PALSY
By:
Josfeena Bashir
Lecturer, BGSBU
DEFINITION
Bell’s palsy (facial paralysis) is caused by unilateral inflammation of the seventh cranial nerve, which results in weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles on the affected side
INCIDENCE
Younger than 45 years of age
Men & women are affected equally
CAUSES
Although the cause is unknown,
Theories about causes include
Vascular ischemia,
Viral disease (herpes simplex, herpes zoster),
Autoimmune disease, a combination of all of these factors.
NERVE TRAUMA
Risk factor
The third trimester of pregnancy
In individuals with immune disorders such as HIV infection,
Individuals with diabetes.
Viral upper respiratory infection
Pathophysiology
Etiology
Inflammation of facial nerve
The inflamed, oedematous nerve becomes compressed to the point of damage, or its blood supply is occluded,
Producing ischemic
Necrosis of facial nerve
Paralysis of facial nerve
Clinical manifestation
Onset of symptoms may be sudden or may progress over a 2- to 5-day period
Pain behind the ear may precede the onset of facial paralysis
dry eye or tingling around the lips
Unable to Close The Eyelid,
Wrinkle The Forehead,
Dysarthria & dysphagia
The mouth is pulled toward the unaffected side
Drooling of saliva occurs,
the affected eye has constant tearing or lacrimation.
Sense of taste is lost over the anterior two-thirds of the tongue
Diagnostic evaluation
History of the onset of symptoms is used to diagnose Bell’s palsy.
Observation of the patient confirms the diagnosis.
An EMG may be done. The possibility of a stroke must be ruled out.
Management
Corticosteroid therapy- to decrease inflammation (eg, prednisone 1 mg/kg/day for 10 to 14
Acyclovir combined with prednisone is possibly effective in improving facial function
Eye care to maintain lubrication and moisture if unable to close. May need to be patched during sleep.
Physical therapy, electrical stimulation to maintain muscle tone.
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and analgesics to relieve pain
Heat application
Massage
Electrical stimulation
Surgical management
Tarsorrhaphy
Complication
Corneal ulceration
Impairment of vision
Body image disturbance related to facial nerve paralysis
Nursing management
Test motor components of facial nerve (VII) by assessing patient's smile, ability to whistle, purse lips, wrinkle forehead, and close eyes. Observe for facial asymmetry.
Observe patient's ability to handle secretions, food, fluids; observe for drooling.
Assess patient's ability to blink and speak clearly.
Assess effect of altered appearance on body image.
Administer or teach patient to administer artificial tears and ophthalmic ointment as prescribed

BELL'S PALSY IS A FORM OF FACIAL PARALYSIS RESULTING FROM A
DYSFUNCTION OF THE CRANIAL NERVE VII (THE FACIAL NERVE)

SENSORY NERVES AND MOTOR NERVES IN THE SPINAL CORD
AND FOR DESCRIBING BELL'S PALSY.

4. Bell's palsy is the most common cause of acute facial nerve paralysis.
There is no known cause of Bell's palsy, although it has been associated
with herpes simplex infection.
Bell's Palsy may develop over several days, and may last several months, in the
majority of cases recovering spontaneously.
It is typically diagnosed clinically, in patients with no risk factors for other causes,
without vesicles in the ear, and with no other neurological signs.
Recovery may be delayed in the elderly, or those with a complete paralysis.
Bell's palsy is often treated with corticosteroids.

5. BELL’S PALSY AFFECTS
THE FACIAL NERVES CONTROL A NUMBER OF FUNCTIONS, SUCH AS BLINKING AND CLOSING THE
EYES, SMILING, FROWNING, LACRIMATION, SALIVATION, FLARING NOSTRILS AND RAISING EYEBROWS.
THEY ALSO INNERVATE THE STAPEDIAL (STAPES) MUSCLES OF THE MIDDLE EAR AND CARRY TASTE
SENSATIONS FROM THE ANTERIOR TWO-THIRDS OF THE TONGUE. BECAUSE BOTH THE NERVE TO
THE STAPEDIUS AND THE CHORDA TYMPANI NERVE (TASTE) ARE BRANCHES OF THE FACIAL NERVE,
PATIENTS WITH BELL'S PALSY MAY PRESENT WITH HYPERACUSIS OR LOSS OF TASTE SENSATION IN
THE ANTERIOR 2/3 OF THE TONGUE. THE FOREHEAD MUSCLES ARE USUALLY AFFECTED.
• ALTHOUGH DEFINED AS A MONONEURITIS (INVOLVING ONLY ONE NERVE), PATIENTS DIAGNOSED
WITH BELL’S PALSY MAY HAVE "MYRIAD NEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS" INCLUDING "FACIAL TINGLING,
MODERATE OR SEVERE HEADACHE/NECK PAIN, MEMORY PROBLEMS, BALANCE PROBLEMS,
IPSILATERAL LIMB PARESTHESIAS, IPSILATERAL LIMB WEAKNESS, AND A SENSE OF CLUMSINESS"
THAT ARE "UNEXPLAINED BY FACIAL NERVE DYSFUNCTION".
• BELL'S PALSY IS A DIAGNOSIS OF EXCLUSION, MEANING IT IS DIAGNOSED BY ELIMINATION OF
OTHER REASONABLE POSSIBILITIES. BY DEFINITION, NO SPECIFIC CAUSE CAN BE DETERMINED.
THERE ARE NO ROUTINE LAB OR IMAGING TESTS REQUIRED TO MAKE THE DIAGNOSIS THE
DEGREE OF NERVE DAMAGE CAN BE ASSESSED USING THE HOUSE-BRACKMANN SCORE.

7. AN INFLAMMATORY CONDITION LEADS TO
SWELLING OF THE FACIAL NERVE.
THE NERVE TRAVELS THROUGH THE SKULL IN
A NARROW BONE CANAL BENEATH THE EAR.
NERVE SWELLING AND COMPRESSION IN THE
NARROW BONE CANAL ARE THOUGHT TO
LEAD TO NERVE INHIBITION, DAMAGE OR
DEATH.

8. WHEN THE FACIAL NERVE IS WORKING PROPERLY, IT CARRIES A
HOST OF MESSAGES FROM THE BRAIN TO THE FACE.
THESE MESSAGES MAY TELL AN EYELID TO CLOSE,
ONE SIDE OF THE MOUTH TO SMILE OR FROWN,
SALIVARY GLANDS TO MAKE SPIT.
FACIAL NERVES ALSO HELP OUR BODIES MAKE TEARS AND TASTE
FAVOURITE FOODS.
BUT IF THE NERVE SWELLS AND IS COMPRESSED, AS HAPPENS
WITH BELL'S PALSY, THESE MESSAGES DON'T GET SENT
CORRECTLY.
THE RESULT IS WEAKNESS OR TEMPORARY PARALYSIS OF THE
MUSCLES ON ONE SIDE OF THE FACE.
EXPLAINING THE BRAIN AND FACIAL NERVE IMPLICATION
7/19/2014Jacqui van Wyk Therapeutic Health Options 8
9. The facial nerve carries axons of type GSA, general somatic afferent, to skin of the
posterior ear.
The facial nerve also carries axons of type GVE, general visceral efferent, which innervate
the sublingual, submandibular, and lacrimal glands, also mucosa of nasal cavity.
The facial nerve also carries axons of type SVE, special branchial-motor efferent, which
innervate muscles of facial expression, stapedius, the posterior belly of digastric, and the
stylohyoid.
The facial nerve also carries axons of type SVA, special visceral afferent, which provide
taste to anterior two-thirds of tongue via chorda tympani
The facial nerve also carries axons of type GVA, general visceral afferent, which provide
sensation to the soft palate and parts of the nasal cavity.

10. CORTICOSTEROIDS HAVE BEEN FOUND TO IMPROVE BELL’S PALSY, WHEN USED EARLY,
WHILE ANTI-VIRAL DRUGS HAVE NOT.
OFTEN THE EYE ON THE AFFECTED SIDE CANNOT BE CLOSED.
THE EYE MUST BE PROTECTED FROM DRYING OUT, OR THE CORNEA MAY BE PERMANENTLY DAMAGED RESULTING IN
IMPAIRED VISION.
IN SOME CASES DENTURE WEARERS EXPERIENCE SOME DISCOMFORT
Facial nerve: the facial nerve's nuclei are in the brainstem (they are
represented in the diagram.
Orange: nerves coming from the left hemisphere of the brain.
Yellow: nerves coming from the right hemisphere of the brain.
Note: the forehead muscles receive innervation from both hemispheres of
the brain (represented in yellow and orange).

11. HOW DOES THE FACIAL NERVE INNERVATE THE FACE
Cortical innervation is bilateral to portions
of the forehead.
Cortical innervation to the lower facial
muscles is unilateral and contralateral.
After a Cortical or corticonuclear lesion,
forehead function may remain but lower
facial muscles on CONTRALATERAL
SIDE do not remain
Facial nerve lesioned as in bells palsy
all facial movement on affected side is
lost

PRE-OPERATIVE SLEEP DISTURBANCES.
DORMONOCT IS ONLY INDICATED WHEN THE DISORDER IS SEVERE, DISABLING OR SUBJECTING
THE INDIVIDUAL TO EXTREME STRESS.
ADCO-ALZAN 0.25MG
ALZAM (ALPRAZOLAM) IS INDICATED FOR THE TREATMENT OF ANXIETY DISORDERS, OR THE
SHORT-TERM RELIEF OF SYMPTOMS OF ANXIETY. ANXIETY ASSOCIATED WITH DEPRESSION IS
RESPONSIVE TO ALZAM. ALZAM IS ALSO INDICATED FOR THE TREATMENT OF PANIC
DISORDERS FOR UP TO EIGHT MONTHS. THE DOCTOR SHOULD PERIODICALLY RE-ASSESS THE
USEFULNESS OF ALZAM (ALPRAZOLAM) IN THE TREATMENT OF ANXIETY DISORDERS; ANXIETY
ASSOCIATED WITH DEPRESSION, FOR LONG TERM USE EXCEEDING SIX MONTHS HAS NOT
BEEN ESTABLISHED.
ALZAM IS ONLY INDICATED WHEN THE DISORDER IS SEVERE, DISABLING OR SUBJECTING THE
INDIVIDUALS TO EXTREME STRESS.)
TRIPLINE 25MG (STILL ON THE CHILL MEDS)
AMITRIPTYLINE IS AN TRICYCLIC ANTIDEPRESSANT USED IN THE TREATMENT OF PATIENTS
WITH ENDOGENOUS DEPRESSION. IT ALSO POSSESSES MILD TRANQUILLISING AND SEDATIVE
PROPERTIES WHICH IS HELPFUL IN ALLEVIATING ANXIETY OR AGITATION THAT OFTEN
ACCOMPANIES DEPRESSION. IT HAS BEEN USED WITH BENEFIT IN DEPRESSION OF LONG OR
SHORT DURATION. ALL PATIENTS DO NOT RESPOND TO THE SAME DEGREE. SOME MAY
RESPOND IN 4 TO 10 DAYS WHILE OTHERS MAY REQUIRE UP TO 30 DAYS TO OBTAIN BENEFIT.
LACK OF RESPONSE MAY OCCUR OCCASIONALLY.

19. CRANIAL NERVE 5 TRIGEMINAL NERVE
The trigeminal nerve is a nerve responsible for sensation in the face and certain
motor functions such as biting and chewing.
It is the largest of the cranial nerves.
Its name derives from the fact that each trigeminal nerve, one on each side of
the pons, has three major branches:
ophthalmic nerve (V1)
maxillary nerve (V2)
mandibular nerve (V3)
The ophthalmic and maxillary nerves are purely sensory.
The mandibular nerve has both cutaneous and motor functions.
Sensory information from the face and body is processed by parallel pathways in
the central nervous system.
The motor division of the trigeminal nerve is derived from the basal plate of the
embryonic pons
The sensory division originates from the cranial neural crest.
7/19/2014Jacqui van Wyk Therapeutic Health Options 19
20. 3 BRANCHES OF TRIGEMINAL NERVE
The ophthalmic, maxillary and mandibular branches leave the skull through three
separate foramina:
superior orbital fissure
foramen rotundum
foramen ovale
•The ophthalmic nerve (V1) carries sensory information from the scalp and forehead,
the upper eyelid, the conjunctiva and cornea of the eye, the nose (including the tip of
the nose, except alae nasi), the nasal mucosa, the frontal sinuses, and parts of
the meninges (the Dura and blood vessels).
•The maxillary nerve (V2) carries sensory information from the lower eyelid and cheek,
the nares and upper lip, the upper teeth and gums, the nasal mucosa, the palate and
roof of the pharynx, the maxillary, ethmoid and sphenoid sinuses, and parts of the
meninges.
•The mandibular nerve (V3) carries sensory information from the lower lip, the lower
teeth and gums, the chin and jaw (except the angle of the jaw, which is supplied by C2-
C3), parts of the external ear, and parts of the meninges. The mandibular nerve carries
touch/position and pain/temperature sensation from the mouth. It does not carry taste
sensation (chorda tympani is responsible for taste), but one of its branches, the lingual
nerve, carries somatic sensation from the tongue.
7/19/2014Jacqui van Wyk Therapeutic Health Options 20
21. CRANIAL NERVE 8 VESTIBULOCOCHLEAR
The vestibulocochlear nerve consists mostly of bipolar neurons and splits into two large
divisions:
cochlear nerve
vestibular nerve
The cochlear nerve travels away from the cochlea of the inner ear where it starts as
the spiral ganglia.
Processes from the organ of Corti conduct afferent transmission to the spiral ganglia.
It is the inner hair cells of the organ of Corti that are responsible for activation of afferent
receptors in response to pressure waves reaching the basilar membrane through the
transduction of sound.
The exact mechanism by which sound is transmitted by the neurons of the cochlear nerve
is uncertain;
the two competing theories are place theory and temporal theory
.
The vestibular nerve travels from the vestibular system of the inner ear.
The vestibular ganglion houses the cell bodies of the bipolar neurons and extends
processes to five sensory organs.
Three of these are the cristae located in the ampullae of the semicircular canals.
Hair cells of the cristae activate afferent receptors in response to rotational acceleration.
The other two sensory organs supplied by the vestibular neurons are the maculae of the
saccule and utricle.
Hair cells of the maculae activate afferent receptors in response to linear acceleration.
