Facial Paralysis

Facial Paralysis - Symptoms

Bell’s palsy diagnosis and initial management

Patients who experience sudden facial paralysis should go to the Accident & Emergency Department immediately. After confirmation of the diagnosis, appropriate initial steps include oral steroids and antiviral treatment if indicated. 

In our outpatient clinic, further non-urgent investigations such as hearing tests, computed tomography (CT scan), magnetic resonance imaging scan (MRI scan) as well as electrophysiological tests may need to be performed in certain patients. Other causes of facial paralysis such as tumour, trauma and inner ear infection must be ruled out.
