Is there a cranial nerve other than the 7th co-involved in Bell Palsy? answer to the systematic review

Bell’s palsy is characterised by one-sided lower motor neuron impairment of the facial nerve. Even though Bell’s palsy is a peripheral facial nerve palsy, other cranial nerves should be investigated, because they are anatomically interconnected rather than isolated. The study aimed to look for evide...
