Facial Palsy Service

Facial palsy is an injury of the facial nerve, which can result in temporary or permanent weakness of the muscles of facial expression on the affected side. Injury to this nerve can occur secondary to tumours or trauma to the nerve. Injury to this nerve can also occur from viral infections or when no cause can be established, Bell’s palsy.
