Introduction The specialty of the Ear‚ Nose and Throat (ENT) system is relatively young compared to certain medical practices. Even to function as a unified discipline‚ pioneers of the specialty had to wage a protracted struggle to surmount considerable hindrances. Initially confined to managing ear infections alone‚ the introduction of surgical intervention skills gradually led the specialty to adapt a unified approach. Furthermore‚ with improved technological advances‚ the specialty’s horizon

Simplex Virus (HSV) infection involving the facial nerve and remains. It will affect about 1 in 60 people during their lifetime. Men and women are equally affected as are the right and left sides of the face. Pregnant women‚ especially during the third trimester are more prone to develop Bell’s palsy. The facial nerve‚ on its path from the brain stem to the face passes through a narrow bony canal in the base of the skull. The viral infection of the nerve is thought to produce inflammation and swelling

• Diagnosed HIV Stage 4 on treatment (LTE) • CMV retinitis • Central facial palsy (flattening of R nasolabial fold) - paresis of the lower half of one side of the face - damage to upper motor neurons of the facial nerve. - The facial motor nucleus has dorsal and ventral divisions that contain lower motor neurons supplying the muscles of the upper and lower face‚ respectively. The dorsal division receives bilateral upper motor neuron input (i.e. from both sides
