Patient's question:
The father of a colleague is 54 years old this year and recently went to the hospital for treatment because he had a brain hemorrhage. Later, another doctor said that the brain hemorrhage caused facial paralysis. What should be done about the facial paralysis caused by the brain hemorrhage?Doctor's answer:
A hemorrhage in the brain is also known as a stroke. The facial paralysis caused by a hemorrhagic stroke is not peripheral facial paralysis. It is central facial paralysis. Central facial paralysis is relatively difficult to treat compared to peripheral facial paralysis. It is recommended that experts in the rehabilitation department of a general hospital conduct a combined speculation of CT and MRI examinations based on the specific situation after a stroke. With standardized treatment from rehabilitation doctors, therapists, and acupuncturists, gradual recovery is possible. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
