Its motor portion innervates muscles for facial movement and expression. Facial paralysis is a common clinical condition that significantly impacts a patient's quality of life. Clinical evaluation is the primary diagnostic tool, and advanced imaging techniques are usually not needed. While a majority of patients with Bell's palsy recover spontaneously, patients are generally treated with a combination of steroids, antiviral drugs, and physiotherapy. In this book, experts discuss recent advances in the diagnosis and management of 7th cranial nerve paralysis, along with surgical options. 606 $aFacial paralysis 615 0$aFacial paralysis. 676 $a616.842 702 $aSanchetee$b Pratap 702 $aSachdev$b Kirti 702 $aRajeswari$b R. 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910687974803321 996 $aFacial nerve palsy$93075779 997 $aUNINA
