Answer and Explanation 13

13.  B is the correct answer.  Patients with Bell's Palsy will have the forehead wrinkle stop on the left side of face that is affected.  It is a palsy of cranial nerve VII (facial nerve).  It typically presents with weakness around the eye on the same side as the facial droop and an inability to shut the eye on that side.  Patients with an acute CVA will usually have the wrinkle that extends across the forehead.
