Facial nerve neuritis is an inflammatory condition characterized by reduced sensitivity, stiffness of facial muscles, and pronounced facial asymmetry. This condition is associated with inflammation of the 7th pair of cranial nerves and requires timely and comprehensive treatment.
Causes and Symptoms of Facial Nerve Neuritis
The primary causes of facial nerve neuritis include:
- Infections (viral and bacterial)
- Hypothermia against the background of atherosclerosis and hypertension
- Stressful situations
- Complications from otitis media
Typically, one side of the face is affected, leading to asymmetry, difficulty in moving facial muscles, and reduced sensitivity. These symptoms can significantly impact the patient's quality of life.
Early Treatment and Prognosis
The earlier the treatment of facial nerve neuritis begins, the more favorable the prognosis. Initial treatment of facial nerve neuritis is usually conducted with medication in outpatient or inpatient settings. However, for effective rehabilitation and prevention of recurrence, resort treatment is recommended.
