Özet

Objective: Bell's palsy (BP) is an idiopathic, acute peripheral facial nevre paralysis (PFP) usually affecting only one side of the face. The etiology of Bell's palsy is unknown but viral infections, vascular ischemia, and autoimmune disorders have all been postulated as possible mechanisms. In this study we analyze patients with PFP admitted to our hospital.
