There are three main patterns of facial nerve compression. The type of injury also gives an idea about the prognosis. Neuropraxia: no wallerian degeneration and complete and rapid recovery of function. Axonotmesis: wallerian degeneration and necrosis of the distal segment (death of the part of the nerve after the compression). Recovery is not ...
EMT's arrived, telling me what a doctor would later confirm: I was actually suffering from Bell's palsy, a rare nerve disability where half the face stays temporarily frozen for weeks - sometimes ...
