Long COVID –Facial paralysis

Facial paralysis (HP:0007209)

Complete loss of ability to move facial muscles innervated by the facial nerve (i.e., the seventh cranial nerve).

Synonyms:    Facial paralysis, Facial paresis

Comment:    Facial paralysis can be caused by compression of the facial nerve.The main difference between facial paralysis and Palsy is cause for the paralysis can be identified, be it a tumor, infection, or nerve damage. Facial paralysis, in most cases, also appears more permanent than Bell’s Palsy, with cases lasting for years to life if a patient doesn’t seek treatment.
