Patient's question:
Previously, while washing my face, I suddenly noticed that one side of my cheek was not moving, and my mouth was drooping. My eye fissure was widened, and my mouth corner was drooping. I couldn't make facial expressions like frowning. After a thorough examination at the hospital, they said I had facial paralysis and recommended that I undergo surgery for an acoustic neuroma-related facial paralysis. Will the surgery fix it?Doctor's answer:
According to the description, the initial judgment is that it is facial paralysis. In clinical diagnosis, the treatment methods include medication and surgery. Both are methods for treating one condition, and it is not guaranteed that they can fully restore or alleviate the symptoms. Surgical repair of the facial nerve can be considered for careful observation. Facial paralysis is caused by inflammation of the facial nerve, which leads to the inability of the facial nerve to control facial muscle movement, resulting in facial paralysis. Treatment and careful observation are necessary. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a good mood in daily life, as a positive attitude is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
