Patient's question:
I met the little neighbor yesterday and his expression was very strange. Later I learned that this child had facial paralysis. I would like to ask, what causes facial paralysis in children?Doctor's answer:
The causes of childhood facial paralysis are very complex, and there are only the following reasons. First, infectious factors such as facial neuritis caused by viral or bacterial infections; second, trauma, facial paralysis trauma in children, in addition to temporal bone fracture trauma, may also be related to birth canal injury in many newborns; third, tumors such as the common facial nerve sheath tumors or facial nerve fibromas in children; fourth, congenital developmental disorders, mainly caused by the varicella-zoster virus, characterized by recurrent earlobe herpes on one side of the facial paralysis patient.
