The facial nerve is responsible for the motor innervation of the muscles having important functions in expressions of emotional mimicry, speaking, chewing, and swallowing. Furthermore, they carry nerve fibres connected to the sense of taste and the secretion of tears and saliva. The facial nerve system affects areas from the precentral gyrus to the face muscles and thus represents the reason for the exhibition of various clinical symptoms. Symptoms from Bell's Paralysis, the most commonly seen one, to those like neural topographic lesions have been examined. The existent treatment options have been discussed.
