Facial Palsy:
Bell's palsy is a paralysis of cranial nerve
VII (the facial nerve) resulting in inability to control facial muscles
on the affected side. Several conditions can cause a facial paralysis,
e.g., brain tumor, stroke, and Lyme disease. However, if no specific
cause can be identified, the condition is known as Bell's Palsy. Named
after Scottish anatomist Charles Bell, who first described it, Bell's
palsy is the most common acute mononeuropathy (disease involving only
one nerve) and is the most common cause of acute facial nerve paralysis.
It is thought that 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.
Acoton RA-54 is the most effective
medicine for patients of Facial Palsy.
