ABSTRACT
Peripheral facial paralysis is the most common paralysis of the cranial nerves. Therefore, while it is clinically important, it is also very important for research. Grading systems are designed for the standardization and are used in the diagnosis and management of diseases. They also play a key role in scientific studies and literature research. The facial nerve has intracranial, intratemporal, and extratemporal parts. All these parts are affected to varying degrees by various diseases. The tests used to detect the affected parts and to predict the clinical course of the disease are called topodiagnostic tests. Various grading systems and topodiagnostic tests related to the facial nerve have been reported in previous studies. In this chapter, we will consider the most frequently used ones.

Keywords: Facial nerve; facial paralysis/diagnosis; facial paralysis/classification; prognosis
