HI
Thank for asking to HCM
No it is not Bell's palsy, the history it self suggestive of the etiology, patient has hydrocephalus according to the history given here it is being operated, shunt does not work too long it gets block very soon, MRI is the only way out there to know the exact cause of facial weakness, have good day
