Patient with Bell's palsy: drooling and cannot blink. Which complication is NOT expected?

  1. Exposure keratitis
  2. Epiphora (excessive tearing)
  3. Glaucoma
  4. Corneal drying and ulceration
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: C. Glaucoma

Bell's palsy complications: lagophthalmos → corneal drying, exposure keratitis, corneal ulceration; epiphora (lacrimal pump impaired). GLAUCOMA is NOT a direct complication of Bell's palsy — involves increased intraocular pressure from aqueous humor drainage issues, unrelated to facial nerve palsy.
