Bell’s palsy is a condition that causes muscle weakness or paralysis on one side of your face. The condition is named after Charles Bell, who first explained this disease. The medical name for this condition is known as acute peripheral facial palsy of unknown cause. It results in drooping of facial features. You will have difficulty closing your eye on the affected side or smiling. In the majority of cases, Bell’s palsy occurs temporarily and resolves within a few weeks or months. Bell’s palsy can occur in individuals of any age.
