Question
My uncle has had a brain infarction for a year now, and recently the family says he has started to show signs of facial paralysis. Is there a relationship between facial paralysis and brain infarction?
Answer
A 45-year-old man has been suffering from a brain infarction for a year. The family says he has now started to show signs of facial paralysis. Firstly, peripherial facial paralysis is not necessarily related to brain infarction, but they can occur sequentially or simultaneously.Brain infarction itself may lead to central facial paralysis, which is distinct from peripherial facial paralysis. If facial paralysis occurs and the patient is unsure, they should actively seek medical attention and receive timely treatment.
