Patient's question:
Is central collapse severe or peripheral collapse severe? What are the differences between central collapse and peripheral collapse, and which condition is more difficult to treat?Doctor's answer:
Facial paralysis is divided into central facial nerve palsy and peripheral facial nerve palsy. Among them, central facial nerve palsy mostly recurs due to brainstem lesions, including brainstem infarction and brainstem hemorrhage. Since the brainstem is the most important part of the brain, central facial nerve palsy is more severe. The distinction between central facial nerve palsy and peripheral facial nerve palsy is based on the location of onset. Finally, in life, it is important to maintain a good mood, as a positive mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
