Bell's Palsy and Herpes Simplex Virus: Fact or Mystery?

1 Jan 2005

Abstract excerpt

HYPOTHESIS AND BACKGROUND: In recent years, progress has been made in the understanding of Bell's palsy, the most common form of acute facial weakness. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) reactivation within the geniculate ganglion with subsequent inflammation and entrapment of the nerve at the meatal foramen has been proposed to be the pathogenetic mechanism. We challenged its accuracy by analyzing our own data on the...
