We present a case of a 4-day-old infant girl with a familial history of renal disease, who was hospitalized because of congenital unilateral facial palsy, which subsequently appeared to be a part of BOR syndrome and led to the diagnosis of congenital [link.springer.com]

Treatment with prednisolone should begin within 3 days (72 hours) of the symptoms starting. Bell's palsy is rare in children, and most children who are affected make a full recovery without treatment. [nhs.uk]

However, in a majority of the cases, the facial nerve palsy resolves on its own, without therapy; although, close clinical monitoring is initially necessary The prognosis of Facial Nerve Palsy due to Birth Trauma is usually excellent with treatment Who [dovemed.com]

The prognosis for good recovery is better in cases when the paresis is only partial. Facial nerve palsy has a broad differential diagnosis. [clinicaladvisor.com]

Fortunately, it usually begins to resolve within three weeks and the prognosis for complete recovery is excellent. While it is considered an idiopathic condition (unknown cause), recent evidence suggests that it may be viral in nature. [nyee.edu]

The etiology was undetermined. [ 1 ] COMMENT. This appears to be the first report of familial congenital facial palsy. A partial agenesis of the facial nerve nucleus is considered in etiology. [pediatricneurologybriefs.com]

Typically, the combination of sensory and motor symptoms correlate to intra-cranial CN 7 pathology, while isolated motor symptoms are associated with extra-cranial CN 7 lesions. [1] Etiology There are numerous possible etiologies of facial nerve palsy [eyewiki.aao.org]

Pathophysiology of Bell’s Palsy Many patients with Bell’s palsy have been found to have rising antibody titers to herpes simplex virus. 31 Different pathophysiological processes have been suggested, 31 including active viral invasion or immune processes [primarypsychiatry.com]

Pathophysiology  Main cause of Bell's palsy is latent herpes viruses (herpes simplex virus type 1 and herpes zoster virus), which are reactivated from cranial nerve ganglia  Edema of nerve within inelastic fallopian canal  Recovery begins by 3 weeks [slideshare.net]

The goals of surgery include protecting the eye, preventing drooling and re-establishing facial symmetry both in motion and at rest. [myplasticsurgery.gr]

You can't prevent Bell's palsy Because it's probably caused by an infection, Bell's palsy can't be prevented. It may be linked to the herpes virus. You'll usually only get Bell's palsy once, but it can sometimes come back. [nhs.uk]
