As a patient who had bilateral Bell's Palsy, I found this an excellent explanation of my condition. Also, no one mentioned that my loss of taste was a part of the nerve issue as this MD did! Great job!!

Thanx for such a clear explaination....
but another important intracranial branch is being missed in this tutorial- greater petrosal nerve - which is a parasympathetic supply to the lacrimal apparatus and is if damaged, can cause decreased lacrimal production ...

such a simple explanation while many people make it so for this video...from Pakistan

Thank you very much, it is really a great help due to the substantially essential summary of the CN VII examination

[rockoquels]

I really like that you gave the theory behind this. The theory aides in remembering what you are testing by knowing why you are testing it!

Asking if she’s comfortable afterwards seems rather redundant wouldn’t you say?

[justasmalltowngirl]

I have a 7th facial nerve tumor and my paralysis is way worse than hers

It’s not fair to use someone who can smile. I forget what my smile looks like 😢

[drkakamd]

do not bring so much cooperative patients, bring some angry and uncooperative so we can see how to manage them..
