Abstract
Of the multitude of causes of facial paralysis, Bell's palsy and Ramsay Hunt syndrome are two of the most common. Bell's palsy alone accounts for almost three-quarters of all acute facial palsies. Although the diagnosis of Ramsay Hunt syndrome is generally obvious, a thorough evaluation and close follow-up are required to establish a firm diagnosis of Bell's palsy. This chapter discusses the pathology, pathophysiology, epidemiology, evaluation, and management of these common disorders.
