In this video, we explain Bell's Phenomenon (also known as Bell’s Reflex or the Palpebral Oculogyric Reflex), an upward and outward movement of the eyes that occurs when the eyelids are forcibly closed. This reflex is particularly important in diagnosing facial nerve palsy and helps to protect the cornea when the eyes can’t fully close. We’ll cover the basics of this reflex, why it happens, its clinical importance, and how it’s used in neurological examinations.
