Facial Nerve Paralysis Due to Birth Trauma
Facial nerve palsy due to birth trauma is a problem affecting the nerve that controls the newborn's facial movements, caused by pressure placed on that area during delivery.
Common symptoms: You may notice asymmetry of the baby's face, especially when crying, with reduced movement on one side of the face, as well as difficulty fully closing one eye.
Common causes: It is related to compression of the facial nerve during birth and is not caused by how the baby is cared for afterward.
Which specialist treats it? The pediatrician evaluates the newborn and follows up on how the condition develops. If you notice asymmetry in your baby's face, the best step is to discuss it with a professional who can examine it carefully.
