No, it cannot, because Bell's Palsy, by definition, is a paralysis of facial muscles caused by an inflammation of the Facial Nerve (cranial nerve VII). If any other part of the body is affected, then the condition is not Bell's Palsy. Bell's Palsy is not the only condition or disease that can cause paralysis of the face.
