Abstract

Bells palsy is a usually innocuous but psychologically distressing disease. The majority of cases are of the so-called idiopathic type, the etiology of which is unknown. This 52 year-old female patient was treated with repeated stellate ganglion bupivacaine blocks, acupuncture and transcutaneous electric nerve stimulation, with return of function. In our case studies, using thermographic images to diagnosis and to evaluate objective assessment of treatment of Bells palsy, we observed the correlation between neurologic symptoms and thermographic image.
