Abstract
The results of a prospective five-year study of peripheral facial palsy in sub-arctic Norway are reported. The idiopathic form accounted for 78.6% of the cases and the incidence for the total population was 18.8/100 000/year. This figure is not significantly higher than those reported from several other, more temperate regions. The incidence of Bell's palsy was low under 20 years of age, increased markedly in the third decade of life and showed no tendency to falling-off in the elderly. No significant seasonal variation was found, nor was there any correlation between age-group and season of the year.Keywords
