Facioscapulohumeral Muscular Dystrophy
This is a condition that causes weakness of the facial muscles (facio), the muscles around the shoulder blade (scapulo) and upper arm muscles (humeral).[facialpalsy.org.uk]
Facial muscle atrophy and weakness leads to drooping of the lower lip, which has unfavorable functional and aesthetic outcomes.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Describing the weakness as shoulder weakness or facial weakness is an oversimplification. In FSH muscular dystrophy, very specific muscles are affected.[encyclopedia.com]
Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
The seventh cranial nerve, or facial nerve, is occasionally affected resulting in partial weakness of the muscles of facial expression on one or both sides of the face.[beaumont.org]
The facial nerve (seventh cranial nerve) is affected occasionally –- the result is total or partial weakness of the muscles of facial expression on one or both sides of the[en.wikipedia.org]
B-Cell Lymphoma
A 28-year-old pregnant woman in the sixth month of gestation presented with complaints of altered bowel habit for a month, on examination found to have generalised lymphadenopathy, pedal oedema and locally infiltrating ano-rectal growth. Rectal growth biopsy was reported as high-grade B-cell lymphoma. After a[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Acoustic Neuroma
Patients and their physicians need to pay close attention for hearing loss, balance and facial muscle weakness.[brainfoundation.org.au]
muscle weakness.[ufhealth.org]
The muscles supplied by the facial nerve include the muscles of facial expression and spontaneous emotion.[hopkinsmedicine.org]
Congenital Muscular Dystrophy
Weakness of the facial muscles often leads to a distinctive facial appearance including droopy eyelids ( ptosis ) and an open mouth.[ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Initial symptoms may include a poor suck, weak cry, floppiness, symmetrical generalised muscle weakness and hypotonia.[neuroradiologycases.com]
Clinical description Weakness of the facial muscles, a high-arched palate, congenital hip dislocation, protrusion of the calcaneus, torticollis, transient kyphotic deformity[orpha.net]
CADASIL Syndrome
Abstract Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is one of the most common heritable causes of stroke and dementia in adults. The gene involved in the pathogenesis of CADASIL is Notch3; in which mutations affect the number of cysteine residues in its[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Spinal Muscular Atrophy
As the disease progresses patients may notice limb weakness starting in the pelvis or shoulders, or weakness of the facial and tongue muscles.[cedars-sinai.edu]
Features : bulbar and lower motor neurone weakness. Muscle cramps, facial fasciculations, hand tremor. Associated with type 2 diabetes and infertility.[patient.info]
In the early stages, patients may notice tremors in their outstretched hands, brief visible twitches under the skin, and muscle cramps.[cedars-sinai.edu]

Familial Partial Lipodystrophy
Abstract Familial lipodystrophy (referred to in publications as the Köbberling-Dunnigan syndrome) comprises at least two clinical phenotypes which are consistent within each pedigree. In type 1 familial lipodystrophy, loss of subcutaneous fat is confined to the limbs, sparing the face and trunk. In type 2 familial[…][ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
