Facial neuritis
What is facial neuritis or Bell's palsy?
Facial neuritis is a disorder that affects the facial nerve and manifests itself as a sudden weakening or paralysis of the facial muscles. This can lead to significant cosmetic defects, distortion of facial expressions, and also cause pain. Facial neuritis can be caused by viral infections, stress, trauma, or hypothermia, but the exact causes sometimes remain unclear.
Symptoms of facial neuritis
The main symptoms include:
-
Sudden weakness or paralysis of one side of the face.
-
Loss of control over facial muscles, such as difficulty smiling or blinking.
-
Pain in the ear or jaw area on one side.
-
Difficulty perceiving tastes on the tongue.
-
Blurred or distorted facial expressions.
How does facial neuritis affect quality of life?
Facial neuritis can significantly change a person’s appearance and everyday behavior, leading to stress and decreased self-confidence. Disturbances in facial expressions and speech can cause psychological difficulties and reduce the quality of life. Timely treatment is important not only to restore the functionality of the facial muscles, but also to minimize the emotional and social consequences.
