A Case Report On Bell’s Palsy In Post Partum Period

Facial paralysis is defined as the loss of bilateral muscle function on one or both sides of the face. Facial Palsy is more common among pregnant women and in the early postpartum period than with other women. Bilateral Facial Palsy, on the other hand, is an extremely unusual occurrence among other paralyses. Facial nerve paralysis can occur for a variety of reasons, including genetics, vascular ischaemia and inflammation caused by viral infection, autoimmune illnesses, temporal bone fractures, head-neck tumours, and central nervous system abnormalities. Despite these recognised causes, the vast majority of Facial palsy cases are idiopathic. As a result, other disorders should be investigated to offer light on the aetiology of Facial Palsy. It is previously established that corticosteroids are effective when used early in the treatment.
