Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]

A patient came with complaints of pursed lips since this morning. It seems that the lips are pulled to the left and the right eyelid cannot be closed tightly. The clinical diagnosis?

A	Paresis N.VII sinistra peripher
B	Paresis N.VII left sentral
C	Paresis N.VII dextra peripheral
D	Paresis N.VII dextra central
E	Paresis N.VII bilateral perifer

Explanation:

Detailed explanation-1: -The Facial Nerve or the Seventh (7th) Cranial Nerve is responsible for facial and eyelid muscle contraction and movement. If this nerve is injured or dysfunctional, then a facial droop and incomplete eyelid closure may result. This condition is called “Facial Nerve Palsy” or “Seventh Nerve Palsy”.

Detailed explanation-2: -Similarly, palsy of the fifth cranial nerve can cause decreased corneal perception.

Detailed explanation-3: -Facial nerve damage refers to a condition where the muscles that are controlled by the facial nerves no longer respond. This causes the person to not be able to move their face. Facial nerve damage can lead to partial or total paralysis of the face and can be upsetting for the person experiencing it.
