Facial paralysis is a neurological condition that results in the inability to move some or all muscles on one or both sides of the face. It occurs due to damage or inflammation of the facial nerve, which transmits signals from the brain to the facial muscles. This disruption leads to muscle weakness and affects essential facial functions such as blinking, smiling, and expressing emotions.

Facial paralysis may arise from:

. Swelling or injury to the facial nerve

. Damage to brain areas responsible for facial muscle control

. Viral infections, trauma, or neurological disorders

The facial nerve plays a vital role in controlling expressions and basic functions like eye closure, mouth movement, and tear production. When impaired, these functions are significantly affected.
