Özet

The pathophysiology of idiopathic facial nerve palsy is uncertain. The condition often occurs two to three weeks following a viral illness. Active viral invasion of the nerve or immune demyelination may be responsible for the underlying neuropathy. A small number of cases are caused by a variety of underlying pathologies some of which may have significant morbidity and mortality associated with them. Facial paralysis in the newborn is uncommon, occurring in % 0.23-1.8 of live births. In patients with congenital facial paralysis, it is important to determine the etiology of the paralysis because prognosis and treatment differ for traumatic and developmental causes.
