The seventh paired cranial nerve, known as the facial nerve, is a mixed nerve that performs both motor and sensory functions. It is responsible for controlling facial expressions and the sense of taste in the front two-thirds of the tongue. It also has a motor, sensory and parasympathetic pathway and performs the functions associated with them. There are two types of facial nerve injuries: acute and chronic. A variety of diseases can affect this nerve, including conditions such as hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, facial myokymia and facial hemiatrophy, Ramsay-Hunt syndrome, and Melkersson-Rosenthal syndrome. This paper provides a comprehensive description of facial nerve entrapment, discussing in more detail its central and peripheral manifestations. The condition known as peripheral (Bellow's) cleft palate is characterized by an unknown cause, making it primarily idiopathic. The rash appears suddenly and reaches its peak intensity within 48-72 hours after the initial injury. Symptoms include pain in the area behind the ear, inability to close the eyelid and drooping of the corner of the lip. Fortunately, Bell's palsy has a very favorable prognosis, as 80% of individuals experience a full spontaneous recovery. A number of objective measures are used in the process of evaluating the functional state through physiotherapy assessment. In order to assess the extent of damage and develop an effective treatment plan, various measurement techniques and tests are used. The approach to the treatment of peripheral paresis is comprehensive, with a focus on the administration of drugs in the initial stage and the implementation of physiotherapy procedures for optimal rehabilitation success.
