Bells palsy is a unilateral, or one-sided, facial paralysis, that has been recognized by physicians in history as early as 1797. For example, a German professor, N.A Freidreich documented the treatment of three patients with an idiopathic unilateral facial nerve paralysis. It wasn’t until 23 years later with Sir Charles Bells work accomplished about the nerve pathway of the facial nerve, did the disease become formally recognized as Bells palsy (Rahman and Sadiq, 2007).
