Bell's palsy is a condition caused by the paralysis of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII) on one side of the face. This can cause facial weakness or drooping, difficulty closing the eye on the affected side, and drooling. Dystonia is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions. Autonomic dysreflexia is a medical emergency that occurs in individuals with spinal cord injuries above the T6 level, resulting in a sudden increase in blood pressure. Myoclonus is a rapid, involuntary muscle movement. None of these are specifically caused by unilateral paralysis of cranial nerve VII.
