Bell's phenomenon


Recommended Posts

a colleague of mine grabbed me yesterday to point out someone with bell's phenomenon. i wasn't too familiar with the patient history or the story behind it, but it sounded like it may have been in conjunction with findings c/w bell's palsy on the particular guy. nonetheless, i looked into it more once i got home, and i've only read info that it's not necessarily pathognomonic sign for anything, is a normal defense mechanism, sometimes associated with G-B as a result of weakness in the orbicularis muscle.

 

any other experiences with this finding? HEENT folks? :)
