Patient's question:
My cousin doesn't know why she got facial muscle atrophy. She is a young girl who values her appearance very much, but now she has this disease, which is truly frustrating. My cousin is now very troubled and doesn't know what to do. The kind of help she cares about: What should be done about muscle atrophy?Doctor's answer:
The common causes of atrophy include disuse, nutritional disorders, cerebral edema, and poisoning. Inflammation of the anterior horn, nerve roots, nerve plexuses, and peripheral nerves can lead to conduction disturbances in nerve excitement, resulting in the disuse of some muscle fibers and the development of disuse atrophy. Test and clinical diagnostic tests have shown that due to the plasticity of the central nervous system, there is a possibility of functional recovery during the recovery process after brain injury.
