Causes in Alphabetical Order
Causes by Etiology
Infectious Causes
- Herpes simplex virus reactivation is the most likely cause of Bell's Palsy.
- Herpes Zoster may be the second most common viral infection.
- Cytomegalovirus
- Epstein Barr virus
- Adenovirus
- Rubella virus
- Mumps
- Influenza B
- Coxsackievirus
- Rickettsial infection
- Ehrlichiosis
- Borrelia burgdorferi
- Acute HIV infection
Non-Infectious Causes
- Facial nerve inflammation
- Tumors and compression of the facial nerve
- Ischemic mononeuropathy
- Inactivated intranasal influenza vaccination was associated with several cases of Bell's palsy in Switzerland
