Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Facial drooping can be caused by a disorder such as Bell’s palsy. This disorder is a mononeuropathy (involvement of a single nerve) that damages the seventh cranial (facial) nerve. The facial nerve controls movement of the muscles of the face. Drooping of the eyelid is called ptosis.
Detailed explanation-2: -Facial nerve palsy includes both paralysis (complete loss of function) and paresis (weakness) of the seventh cranial nerve (CN 7). CN 7 is a mixed nerve providing both sensory afferents and motor efferent fibers.
