Facial nerve paralysis
Abstract
Emotions are communicated through facial expression. Happiness, confusion, and frustration can be expressed with a slight smile, eyebrow shift, or wrinkled nose. Injury to the facial nerve and subsequent inability of perform volitional mimetic movement can provoke anxiety. This article explores the causes, treatment, and prevention of facial nerve paralysis.
