Study Notes

Left Facial Nerve Palsy

  • Characterized by preserved function in the upper face, indicating intact innervation.
  • Loss of nasolabial fold results in a smoother appearance on that side.
  • Mouth deviation towards the unaffected (normal) side when smiling or grimacing.

Right Facial Nerve Palsy

  • Exhibits loss of frontal wrinkling, demonstrating weakness in forehead muscle control.
  • Bell's phenomenon, where the eye on the affected side moves upward when closing, is typically observed.
  • Similar to left palsy, loss of nasolabial fold is present, contributing to facial asymmetry.
  • Mouth also deviates towards the unaffected side, reflecting muscle weakness on the affected side.
