Patient's question:
My uncle is 58 years old this year. He recently went to the hospital for a check-up and was diagnosed with facial paralysis. The family is very worried. So, what are the early symptoms of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
The symptoms of eyebrows and eyes are relatively common, and we should pay attention and treat them promptly. Ask the patient to close their eyes tightly. When a normal person closes their eyes tightly, most of their eyelashes are buried between the upper and lower eyelids. Clinical diagnostic symptoms of facial paralysis include eyelash leakage during facial paralysis. Especially in mild cases, eyelashes are asymmetrical and not obvious. But if eyelashes on the mildly anesthetized side reappear slowly, it is called male eye asymmetry.
