Facial nerve neuropathy is a common neurological condition characterized by unilateral weakening or complete lack of function of facial muscles due to damage to the VII cranial nerve. The incidence is approximately 20-30 cases per 100,000 population annually, and pathology can affect people of any age, significantly limiting their social activity and negatively affecting their psycho-emotional state. The idiopathic form (Bell's palsy) dominates the morbidity structure, accounting for approximately 70% of all diagnosed cases, while the remaining 30% are caused by traumatic injuries, infectious processes, neoplasms and metabolic disorders.
