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