(A) Asymmetric movements of facial muscles, inability to close right eye (but not left), deviated angle of the mouth and flattening of the right nasolabial fold. (B) Ability to wrinkle the forehead equally bilaterally and raise eyebrows symmetrically is preserved. Right-sided facial weakness involving lower part of face with sparing of upper part (forehead) are classic findings for upper motor neuron facial palsy. (C) Full recovery (after 6 months) from the right facial palsy with symmetrical smile and ability to close eyes bilaterally. This patient had a history suggestive of a thrombotic ischemic stroke.
