Facial nerve palsy has both a physical and a psychological bearing on the patient. The treating physician should therefore be aware of the milieu of differential diagnosis possible. Mindfulness of the various clinical diagnosis and their investigations is essential as not only the treatment but the prognosis also depends on the cause.
