The authors discuss some problems connected with the aetiology and pathogenesis of Bell's palsy. Attention is called to conservative treatment of the palsy with particular reference to administration of cortisone preparations injected into the stylomastoid foramen. Good results were obtained in 90% of 205 cases treated in this way. The method provides good results with small doses of the drug and can be used in outpatient practice.
