German term or phrase: zentrale Facialisparese der rechten Seite
translation: unilateral facial nerve paresis of the right hand side.

I take it "central" here means "unilateral/only one sided" and doesn`t refer to the middle of the face. Because otherwise I don`t see how something can be central and on on the right hand side at the same time.

Would be grateful for your help

facial nerve paresis on the right side


Explanation:
I am not quite sure what is meant by 'zentrale' here, either. The only possible answer that comes to mind is that it refers to a central nervous system complication, affecting the right facial nerve and causing paresis.

Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Anne Schulz: In central paralysis, the lesion is closer to the origin of the nerve in the brain than in peripheral paralysis which leads to different symptoms in either case.

agree  Elena Sgarbo (X): Yes, the lesion is at or close to the central facial nucleus, rather than in the facial nerve. Regards, Hervé
