Patient's question:
These past few days, I don't know what's wrong, but I feel a bit uncomfortable on my face and my facial muscles are a bit stiff. After checking, they said I have facial nerve palsy. I just wanted to consult about what facial nerve palsy is?Doctor's answer:
Facial neuritis is also known as Bell's palsy. It is an acute suppurative inflammation of the facial nerve within the intracranial segment of the facial nerve canal. Facial neuritis is relatively common among cranial nerve diseases. The anatomical structure of the facial nerve canal is a terminal observation of the bony canal. If the growth and development of the bone are more abnormal, the facial nerve canal may become narrower. This could be an intrinsic factor for facial neuritis. The origin of facial neuritis from many external factors is still not fully understood.
