The Term Facial palsy generally refers to weakness of the facial muscles, mainly resulting from temporary or permanent damage to the facial nerve.

Facial palsy is due to the damage in the facial nerve that supplies the muscles of the face. It can be categorized into two based on the location of casual pathology:

1. Central facial palsy- due to damage above the facial nucleus
2. Peripheral facial palsy-due to damage at or below the facial nucleus
