Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- The first comprehensive description of Bell's palsy was first discovered by Abū Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Rāzī, a Persian polymath, physician, alchemist, philosopher, in 9th century, although Sir Charles Bell, a Scottish surgeon, was the first to provide the anatomic basis for the condition that bears his name in 1821.[1]
- For the fiest time, Razi provided accurate descriptions of facial muscle disorders.
- Razi describes a clinical method for distinguishing spasm and paralysis for the first time.
- Razi also gave the earliest description of bilateral facial palsy.
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In 9th century, the therapy of Bell's palsy was developed by Abū Bakr Muhammad ibn Zakariyyā al-Rāzī.
- The treatment given by Razi was:
- Massage until the “skin turns red,”
- Warming oils and ointments
- Warm compresses
- Inhaled and intranasal medicines (emphasis on inducing sneezing)
- Oral medications (emphasis on gargling)
- Special diets
- Phlebotomy
- Application of a bandage to the distorted area to counteract the unbridled pull of the muscles
- In 1821, Sir Charles Bell described the lesions of the seventh cranial nerve produce facial paralysis.[2]
- Bell described the Bell's palsy is caused by problem of 7th cranial nerve(facial nerve)
