Patient's question:
I got facial paralysis last week because I didn't take precautions. Today, it is said that this could lead to other conditions. Will facial paralysis develop into facial spasms?Doctor's answer:
Facial spasm, also known as "facial twitch," refers to the unconscious twitching of facial muscles caused by facial nerve disorders. Facial muscle spasms are generally divided into two types: primary and secondary. Secondary spasms are caused by other diseases such as facial paralysis. The reason is that facial paralysis can lead to pathological changes in nerve demyelination, which cannot be fully restored. It often results in local demyelination, making facial nerve conduction more susceptible to spread, or facial paralysis affecting the brainstem, leading to epilepsy-like inflammation and causing the paroxysmal twitching of facial muscles.
