"Facial Nerve Diseases" is a descriptor in the National Library of Medicine's controlled vocabulary thesaurus,
MeSH (Medical Subject Headings). Descriptors are arranged in a hierarchical structure,
which enables searching at various levels of specificity.
Diseases of the facial nerve or nuclei. Pontine disorders may affect the facial nuclei or nerve fascicle.
