In any instance of facial paralysis in a child, an effort should be made to determine immediately whether it is caused by a specific, treatable entity. Of 61 cases of facial paralysis in children seen in a Facial Paralysis Clinic, 38% were not Bell's palsy. Eight of the 61 children had disease amenable to specific therapy available today.

Hankooki.com The Korea Times Oriental Medicine [Oriental Medicine] Facial Paralysis By Dr. Park Chan-joo If you got up one morning to find that you couldn't smile or close your eyes, you might be very scared. Facial paralysis is a condition in which the facial nerve that controls most of the muscles in your face is paralyzed. It is usually the result of problems related to the brain or cranial nerves. However, it can also happen without any specific reason or other symptoms, usually after your face is exposed to the cold wind for hours. This occurrence is called Bell's palsy in Western medicine. The condition can also develop after a cold or with a chronic infection of the middle ear. In a typical case, numbness on one side of your face prevents you from closing one of your eyes, making wrinkles on your forehead or whistling. In addition, you could have difficulty eating or gargling. The worst thing is that you would not be able to hide your asymmetric, unbalanced and twisted face from others, which is why patients of the disease usually feel frustrated or depressed. In oriental medicine, this symptom is called ``kuanwasa'' or ``wasapung.'' It is thought to be the result of wind and cold invading your body, leading to the bad circulation of ``ki (energy)'' and blood. In most cases, the risk of this condition increases with chronic fatigue and stress.

He underwent nerve transfer surgery to correct facial nerve paralysis and restore movement in his face. Lopez was diagnosed with congenital facial paralysis shortly after his birth. His mother, Deborah Losoya, said doctors first noticed the problem in the delivery room. "I noticed it, too. One side of his face didn’t move when he cried," said Losoya, of Fayetteville. The doctors ordered a MRI, which showed that Lopez’s right-side facial nerve had not developed. "Julian started to withdraw. He would bow his head to hide his face," said Losoya. "More than anything, he just wanted to be able to smile." Such sensitivity is common, said Kim Uhrich, clinical social worker at the UNC Craniofacial Center.

FACIAL NERVE PARALYSIS A DISCUSSION OF FACIAL NERVE PROBLEMS Twitching, weakness or paralysis of the face is a symptom of some disorder involving the facial nerve. It is not a disease in itself. The disorder may be caused by many different disease, including circulatory disturbances, injury, infection or tumor. Facial nerve disorders are accompanied by a hearing impairment. This impairment may or may not be related to the facial nerve problems. Hearing is measured in decibels (dB). A hearing level of to 25 dB is considered normal hearing for conversational purposes. FUNCTION OF THE FACIAL NERVE The facial nerve resembles a telephone cable and contains hundreds of individual nerve fibers. Each fiber carries electrical impulses to a specific facial muscle. Acting as a unit this nerve allows us to laugh, cry, smile or frown, hence the name, "the nerve of facial expression". Each of the two facial nerves not only carries nerve impulses to the muscles of one side of the face, but also carries nerve impulses top the tear glands, saliva glands, to the muscle of a small middle ear bone (stapes) and transmits taste fibers from the front of the tongue and pain fibers from the ear canal. As such, a disorder of the facial nerve may result in twitching, weakness or paralysis of the face, dryness of the ear or the mouth, loss of taste, increased sensitivity to loud sound and pain in the ear. An ear specialist is often called upon to manage facial nerve problems because of the close association of this nerve with the ear structures. After leaving the brain the facial nerve enters the temporal bone (ear bone) through a small bony tube (the internal auditory canal) in very close association with the hearing and balance nerves. Along its inch and a half course through a small bony canal in the temporal bone the facial nerve winds around the three middle ear bones, in back o the eardrum, and then through the mastoid to exit below the ear. Here is divides into many branches to supply the facial muscles. During its course through the temporal bone the facial nerve gives off several branches: to the tear gland, to the stapes muscle, to the tongue and saliva glands and to the ear canal.

Facial Nerve Injuries and Paralysis What is the facial nerve? There are actually two facial nerves, one on each side of the head. The facial nerve or 7th cranial nerve is known as a "cranial nerve" since it starts in the brain. It then sends branches out to the face, neck, salivary glands (secrete saliva into the mouth), and the outer ear. A normal functioning facial nerve allows us to move our face and neck (smile, frown, wrinkle our nose and forehead), secrete saliva, lets the front of the tongue "taste" food, and makes us cough when something is placed in the ear. What problems can develop with the facial nerve? Problems with the facial nerve result in weakness or paralysis of the face muscles and possibly, a loss of taste on the affected side. This nerve loss is one of the most disfiguring since it involves facial movement. Without the nerve connection (innervation) intact, the eye does not close, there is loss of facial muscle tone, and movement on the affected side is reduced or lost. What causes paralysis of the facial nerve?

A unilateral facial muscle paralysis of sudden onset, resulting from trauma, compression, or infection of the facial nerve and characterized by muscle weakness and a distorted facial expression. [After Sir Charles Bell (1774–1842), Scottish anatomist.] Diagnosis What is the facial nerve? The facial nerve is a specific motor nerve (a nerve which tells certain muscles to contract) which controls the muscles on the same side of the face. It allows us to show expression, smile, cry, and wink. Injury to the facial nerve causes a socially and psychological devastating physical defect that may require multiple rehabilitative procedures. The facial nerve is the seventh of the twelve cranial nerves which have been named as such because they all exit the brainstem through the base of the skull. Everyone has two facial nerves, one for each side of the face. The facial nerve travels with the hearing nerve (cranial nerve eight) as it travels in and around the structures of the middle ear. It exits the front of the ear at the stylomastoid foramen (a hole in the skull base), where it then travels through the parotid gland. In the parotid gland it divides into many branches which provide motor function for the various muscles and glands of the head and neck.
