According to BOS sm

eponyms

"While the use of the possessive form with eponyms remains acceptible, AAMT's preference is generally to drop the possessive form.

Apgar score, Babinski sign, Down syndrome, Gram stain, Hodgkin lymphoma.

Sometimes an awkward construction calls for use of the possessive form.  This patient suffers from Hodgkin's."

It has seemed strange when I've done this but I'm gradually getting more used to it.  So, it should be Bell palsy.
