Bell?s palsy is defined as an idiopathic paresis or paralysis of the facial nerve. The name was ascribed to Sir Charles Bell, who in 1821, demonstrated the separation of the motor and sensory innervation of the face. The incidence ranges from 15 to 40 cases per 100,000, with an equal distribution between the sexes. There is no racial predilection and advancing age may be a risk factor, although this remains controversial. The disease involves the right and left nerves in equal proportions and is recurrent in approximately 10% of cases it occurs bilaterally less than 1% of the time. About 8% of patients report a positive family history of Bell?s palsy, with a higher incidence in those with bilateral disease
