Elevated Neutrophil‐to‐Lymphocyte Ratio in Bell's Palsy and Its Correlation with Facial Nerve Enhancement on MRI

Abstract

NLR can be used as a new and important marker in BP since it is high in BP patients and significantly correlated with HB grade and facial nerve enhancement on TGd-MR. On the other hand, MPV does not have such correlations. These results offer evidence to support an inflammatory theory rather than microvascular response theory in the etiopatogenesis of BP.
