Abstract:
Congenital facial palsy is unilateral or bilateral facial nerve palsy at birth due to genetic or different pathogenic factors.

Congenital facial palsy cannot recover spontaneously. Different types of congenital facial palsy have different treatment schemes. The treatment is significant to the improvement of life quality and physical and mental development of children with congenital facial palsy.
