Gardasil Bell's Palsy:
The Gardasil vaccine has been associated with Bell's Palsy, especially in
younger women. There are several cases of Bell's Palsy reported shortly after the Gardasil vaccination was administered. It appears to be more common in young women. There is no cure or standard course of treatment for Bell's palsy.
A diagnosis of Bell's palsy is made based on clinical presentation, including a distorted facial appearance and the inability to move muscles on the affected side of the face-and by ruling out other possible causes of facial paralysis. There is no specific laboratory test to confirm diagnosis of the disorder.
Generally, a physician will examine the individual for upper and lower facial weakness. In most cases this weakness is limited to one side of the face or occasionally to the forehead, eyelid, or mouth. A test called electromyography (EMG) can confirm the presence of nerve damage and determine the severity and the extent of nerve involvement. An x-ray of the skull can help rule out infection or tumor. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan can eliminate other causes of pressure on the facial nerve.
What is Bell's Palsy?
Bell's Palsy is an affliction of the nerves of the face that can cause excruciating, piercing pain with accompanying muscles spasms and facial contortions or weakness of the nerve that supplies the muscles of facial expression on one half of the face (right or left).
Because the facial nerve has so many functions and is so complex, damage to the nerve or a disruption in its function can lead to many problems. Symptoms of Bell's palsy, which vary from person to person and range in severity from mild weakness to total paralysis, may include twitching, weakness, or paralysis on one or both sides of the face, drooping of the eyelid and corner of the mouth, drooling, dryness of the eye or mouth, impairment of taste, and excessive tearing in one eye. Most often these symptoms, which usually begin suddenly and reach their peak within 48 hours, lead to significant facial distortion.
Other symptoms may include pain or discomfort around the jaw and behind the ear, ringing in one or both ears, headache, loss of taste, hypersensitivity to sound on the affected side, impaired speech, dizziness, and difficulty eating or drinking.
