Facial nerve conditions and injuries affect the facial nerve of one side, therefore leading to weakness on one side of the face.
Types of conditions we see that can cause facial nerve paralysis include:
Bells Palsy
Ramsay Hunt Syndrome
Surgery such as removal of an acoustic neuroma
Chronic facial nerve conditions and injuries
Traumatic facial nerve injuries
Synkinesis. An abnormal movement pattern involving incorrect recruitment of facial nerve branches as nerve healing occurs.
