However, facial nerve palsy is now considered a clinical syndrome with its own differential diagnosis, and the term "Bell palsy" is not always considered synonymous with idiopathic facial nerve palsy. == Alternate ICD10s to consider coding instead or in addition == * [[Bell's palsy]] * [[Trigeminal neuralgia]] == Candidate [[Combined ICD10 codes]] == == Related CCI Codes == {{Data Integrity Check List}} == Related Articles == {{Related Articles}} {{ICD10 footer}} {{EndPlaceHolder}}
