Abstract
Presented are two patients in whom facial palsy developed after blunt trauma to the side of the face, Both patients made a complete and unev entful recovery, The etiology of a facial nerve lesion can be establis hed through knowledge of the possible sites of injury to the facial ne rve, good history taking and physical examination, together with appro priate tests, The prognosis of an injury secondary to blunt trauma is generally good.
