When facial expressions fail
"Feel good, live better" – the health podcast by Premium Medical Circle. Prof. Dr. Christopher Bohr on causes and treatment options for facial paralysis.
Sometimes it happens overnight. When those affected look in the mirror in the morning, one corner of the mouth droops or one side of the face can no longer move. "We can't find the cause in 70 percent of all facial paralysis cases," says Prof. Dr. Christopher Bohr, one of Germany's leading experts in this field. The good news: In this so-called idiopathic facial palsy, the recovery rate is very high. However, it is important to see a doctor immediately, as the fine facial muscles quickly atrophy. What causes are known, which factors can favor paralysis, and what therapy options are available if the nerve no longer regenerates on its own, are discussed by the Director of the Clinic for Ear, Nose, and Throat Medicine at the University Hospital of Regensburg in the current episode of FEEL GOOD, LIVE BETTER.
