Central facial paralysis is caused by damage to the ascending pathway of facial nerve nucleus, and internal capsule injury is the most common, which can lead to shallow nasolabial groove on the affected side, while peripheral facial paralysis is related to virus infection, autonomic nerve dysfunction and other factors. The main clinical manifestations are mouth skew, speech leakage, drooling and so on.
