Patient's question:
A worker fell from a three-story building and left behind facial paralysis. After more than ten years, will the facial paralysis possibly be cured?Doctor's answer:
If facial paralysis reappears after more than ten years, it should be considered whether it is caused by damage to the facial nerve excluding the trigeminal nerve. If these two types of nerve damage are treated promptly, they can be completely restored. However, after ten years, the injured nerves have already formed complete scars, making it impossible to perform reconstruction. In such cases, there is no treatment available. In the future, if a nerve injury-related disease reappears, it should be treated as early as possible.
