Facial paralysis is the development of loss of movement in facial mimic muscles due to nerve damage. It can be seen on one or both sides of the face. For the diagnosis of facial paralysis, the doctor evaluates the muscle movements by asking the patient to make gestures such as raising eyebrows, blinking, smiling and frowning. In addition, imaging scans and blood tests such as MRI and CT can be performed. Facial paralysis can be treated with various drugs. For those who do not heal completely, plastic surgery can be helpful to correct the eyelids that do not close completely or to correct the crooked smile.
What is Neurology?
Neurology is a branch of science that examines the structure, diseases and physiology of the nervous system. Generally, it examines the brain, brainstem, spinal cord and its surroundings. For example, it is necessary to consult a neurologist for problems such as seizures, confusion, sensory changes, headache, muscle and coordination problems or head trauma. For the diagnosis of neurological diseases, a very detailed history and physical examination are performed first. Imaging tests are performed when necessary. Some diseases and disorders that fall into the treatment areas of neurologists include stroke, Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, MS (multiple sclerosis), ALS (amyotropic lateral sclerosis), epilepsy, migraine, tremors, sleep disorders, brain and spinal cord injury, peripheral nerve disease and brain tumors .
