Risk Factors for bells palsy

A

3X higher during pregnancy (3rd trimester & early postpartum period)

Hypertension

Diabetes

45
Q

Etiology for bells palsy

A

Mostly viral

Vascular origin such as ischemia of facial nerve

Fluid retention

Immune-mediated inflammatory response to some vaccines (however this data is uncertain)

Compression due to a tumor or neoplasm

46
Q

example of a ​virus that cause bells palsy​

A

Herpes Simplex, influenza

47
Q

Vascular origin of bells is a high risk with what disea

A

Diabetes Mellitus

48
Q

when do we see fluid retention​ that is related to bells

A

pregnancy & pre-eclampsia

49
Q

Mechanism of Bell’s palsy

A

Compression of the facial nerve in the narrowest part of the canal (labyrinthine portion) due to inflammation

50
Q

what type of onset does Bell’s Palsy have

A

Sudden onset

hours, peak facial muscle weakness or paralysis seen within 48-72 hrs

51
Q

Bell’s Palsy recovery time

A

Complete recovery within 1-3 months in more than 85% of those affected

52
Q

Bell’s Palsy relapse

A

7 to 15% have relapses

53
Q

Bell’s Palsy long recovery

A

1/3 of individuals may have late recovery (9 months) or incomplete recovery

54
Q

Bell’s Palsy recovery is based on what

A

how badly the nerve was impacted

55
Q

Risk factors for incomplete recovery in Bell’s Palsy

A

older age, DM, BP, pregnancy, genetic predisposition, no sign of recovery in first month

56
Q

Bell’s Palsy those who do not recovery have what

A

tightness, contracture, twitching and/or synkinesis

57
Q

Bell’s Palsy - Synkinesis

A

moving together

Voluntary movement of one facial muscle is accompanied by an involuntary movement of another muscle

Due to abnormal facial nerve fiber regrowth.

E.g., ocular-oral movement.

This occurs when there is fiber regrowth that is not very organized

58
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Inability to smile, raise eyebrows, etc (facial muscle weakness)

A

yes

59
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Drooling

A

yes

60
Q

Bell’s Palsy-Increased wrinkles

A

no – no wrinkles form because of decreased use of muscle in the face

61
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Feel their face

A

yes
trigeminal nerve - V

62
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Change in taste (distorted)

A

maybe – depending on what part of the canal is affected this can affect the taste

63
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Hyperacusis

A

maybe

64
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Decreased tearing

A

maybe – the facial nerve gives out branch to lacrimal gland

65
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Increased tearing (crocodile tears)

A

maybe - new fibers my lead to excess tear formation

66
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Decrease in saliva

A

maybe

67
Q

Bell’s Palsy- Jaw muscle weakness

A

no – the facial nerve does not supply the muscle of the mandible

68

Eating
Drinking
Speaking

Herpes Zoster infection

71
Q

Bell’s Palsy - Common treatments, most effective​

A

Glucocorticoids

72
Q

Bell’s Palsy - Common treatments, eyes

A

most effective - Adequate eye care (eye lubrication or ointment) to prevent corneal abrasions and dryness.

73
Q

Bell’s Palsy - Common treatments, minimal benefits

A

Anti-viral therapy (evidence shows little to no benefit when combined with glucocorticoids vs glucocorticoids alone)

Facial exercise or retraining with/or without EMG feedback.

Surgical decompression is not recommended.

Facial plastic surgery to improve facial symmetry for those with contractures and residual paralysis.
