Patient's question:
My aunt was just carefully diagnosed with bilateral facial paralysis. Hello, what causes bilateral facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the situation you described, if a thorough examination suggests bilateral facial paralysis, it is more likely that the condition could be due to Guillain-Barré syndrome. Peripheral facial nerve palsy caused by facial neuritis is rarely seen. Therefore, the current situation should be treated with systematic and careful examination in the hospital. It may be necessary to perform further lumbar puncture to determine if it is indicative of Guillain-Barré syndrome.
