Patient's question:
Hello doctor, I apologize for interrupting. I would like to ask you about the treatment for facial paralysis caused by an acoustic neuroma. I have a friend who has facial paralysis. She was initially happy about it, but her face lacks color, which seems to be a typical case of facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Acoustic neuroma facial paralysis can be treated through surgical removal. It is usually caused by the neuroma affecting the facial nerve, which can lead to facial paralysis symptoms. It is also important to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods to prevent symptom exacerbation. Additionally, after surgery, it is necessary to carefully monitor for an increase in purulent secretions, as this may indicate a recurrence of bacterial infection.
