Patient's question:
My colleague is 36 years old this year and hasn't been here recently. It's said that it has appeared again. I wonder what symptoms does it have?Doctor's answer:
Facial neuritis only manifests as the collapse of all facial expressions on one side. It is necessary to pay attention to the following two situations: First, if only the eyelids are affected and mild facial nerve issues are present, it is important to consider the possibility of myasthenia gravis affecting the eye muscles. Second, if only the corner of the mouth is affected, with no nasolabial fold, no frowning, no eyelid closure, and no accompanying limb anesthesia or aphasia, it is necessary to pay attention to the following two situations: consider the possibility of a stroke causing central facial paralysis.
