Bhgn 2: APA ITU BELL'S PALSY?

What is Bell’s palsy?

Bell’s palsy is a condition that causes a temporary weakness or paralysis of the muscles in the face. It can occur when the nerve that controls your facial muscles becomes inflamed, swollen, or compressed.

The condition causes one side of your face to droop or become stiff. You may have difficulty smiling or closing your eye on the affected side. In most cases, Bell’s palsy is temporary and symptoms usually go away after a few weeks.

Although Bell’s palsy can occur at any age, the condition is more common among people between ages 16 and 60. Bell’s palsy is named after the Scottish anatomist Charles Bell, who was the first to describe the condition.

SYMPTOMS

What are the symptoms of Bell’s palsy?

The symptoms of Bell’s palsy can develop one to two weeks after you have a cold, ear infection, or eye infection. They usually appear abruptly, and you may notice them when you wake up in the morning or when you try to eat or drink.

Bell’s palsy is marked by a droopy appearance on one side of the face and the inability to open or close your eye on the affected side. In rare cases, Bell’s palsy may affect both sides of your face.

Other signs and symptoms of Bell’s palsy include:

• drooling
• difficulty eating and drinking
• an inability to make facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning
• facial weakness
• muscle twitches in the face
• dry eye and mouth
• headache
• sensitivity to sound
• irritation of the eye on the involved side

Call your doctor immediately if you develop any of these symptoms. You should never self-diagnose Bell’s palsy. The symptoms can be similar to those of other serious conditions, such as a stroke or brain tumor.

CAUSES

What causes Bell’s palsy?

Bell’s palsy occurs when the seventh cranial nerve becomes swollen or compressed, resulting in facial weakness or paralysis. The exact cause of this damage is unknown, but many medical researchers believe it’s most likely triggered by a viral infection.

The viruses/bacteria that have been linked to the development of Bell’s palsy include:

• herpes simplex, which causes cold sores and genital herpes
• HIV, which damages the immune system
• sarcoidosis, which causes organ inflammation
• herpes zoster virus, which causes chickenpox and shingles
• Epstein-Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis
• Lyme disease, which is a bacterial infection caused by infected ticks

RISK FACTORS

What are the risk factors for Bell’s palsy?

Your risk of developing Bell’s palsy increases if you:

• are pregnant
• have diabetes
• have a lung infection
• have a family history of the condition

DIAGNOSIS

How is Bell’s palsy diagnosed?

Your doctor will first perform a physical examination to determine the extent of the weakness in your facial muscles. They’ll also ask you questions about your symptoms, including when they occurred or when you first noticed them.

Your doctor can also use a variety of tests to make a Bell’s palsy diagnosis. These tests may include blood tests to check for the presence of a bacterial or viral infection. Your doctor might also use an MRI or CT scan to check the nerves in your face.

TREATMENTS

How is Bell’s palsy treated?

In most cases, Bell’s palsy symptoms improve without treatment. However, it can take several weeks or months for the muscles in your face to regain their normal strength.

The following treatments may help in your recovery.

Medication

• corticosteroid drugs, which reduce inflammation
• antiviral or antibacterial medication, which may be prescribed if a virus or bacteria caused your Bell’s palsy
• over-the-counter pain medications, such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen, which can help relieve mild pain
• eye drops

Home treatment

• an eye patch (for your dry eye)
• a warm, moist towel over your face to relieve pain
• facial massage
• physical therapy exercises to stimulate your facial muscles

COMPLICATIONS

What are the potential complications of Bell’s palsy?

Most people who have an episode of Bell’s palsy will completely recover without complications. However, complications may occur in more severe cases of Bell’s palsy. These include the following:

• You may have damage to the seventh cranial nerve. This nerve controls your facial muscles.
• You may have excessive dryness in the eye, which can lead to eye infections, ulcers, or even blindness.
• You may have synkinesis, which is a condition in which moving one body part causes another to move involuntarily. For example, your eye may close when you smile.

OUTLOOK

What is the long-term outlook for people with Bell’s palsy?

The outlook for people with Bell’s palsy is usually good. Recovery time may vary depending on the severity of nerve damage. In general, however, people can see an improvement within two weeks after the initial onset of symptoms. Most will completely recover within three to six months, but it may be longer for people with more severe cases of Bell’s palsy. In rare cases, symptoms may continue to return or may be permanent.

Call your doctor immediately if you’re showing any signs of Bell’s palsy. Prompt treatment can help speed up your recovery time and prevent any complication

Bhgn 1: HEMIFACIAL SPASM vs. BELL'S PALSY

Pernah dengar yang namanya Hemifacial Spasm? Sila baca artikel dibawah ni untuk maklumat lanjut. Adakah ia sama dengan Bell's Palsy

What is a hemifacial spasm?

Hemifacial spasms happen when the muscles on only one side of your face twitch without warning. These types of spasms are caused by damage or irritation to the facial nerve, which is also known as the seventh cranial nerve. Facial spasms occur when the muscles contract involuntarily because of this nerve irritation.

Hemifacial spasms are also known as tic convulsif. At first, they may appear only as small, barely noticeable tics around your eyelid, cheek, or mouth. Over time, the tics may expand to other parts of your face.

Hemifacial spasms can happen to men or women, but they’re most common in women over 40. They also tend to occur more often on the left side of your face.

Hemifacial spasms aren’t dangerous on their own. But a constant twitch in your face can be frustrating or uncomfortable. In severe cases, these spasms can limit function due to involuntary eye closing or the impact they have on speaking.

In some cases, these spasms may indicate that you have an underlying condition or an abnormality in your facial structure. Either of these causes can compress or damage your nerves and make your face muscles twitch.

SYMPTOMS

What are the symptoms of hemifacial spasms?

The first symptom of a hemifacial spasm is involuntarily twitching on only one side of your face. Muscle contractions often begin in your eyelid as mild twitching that may not be too disruptive. This is known as a blepharospasm. You may notice that the twitching becomes more pronounced when you’re anxious or tired. Sometimes, these eyelid spasms can cause your eye to close completely or cause your eye to tear up.

Over time, the twitching may become more noticeable in the areas of your face that it already affects. The twitching may also spread to other parts of the same side of your face and body, including the:

• eyebrow
• cheek
• area around your mouth, such as your lips
• chin
• jaw
• upper neck

In some cases, hemifacial spasms can spread to every muscle in one side of your face. Spasms may also still happen while you’re sleeping. As the spasms spread out, you may also notice other symptoms, such as:

• changes in your ability to hear
• ringing in your ears (tinnitus)
• ear pain, especially behind your ear
• spasms that go down your entire face

CAUSES

What causes hemifacial spasms?

Your doctor may not be able to find out the exact cause of your hemifacial spasms. This is known as an idiopathic spasm.

Hemifacial spasms are often caused by irritation or damage to your facial nerve. They’re commonly caused by a blood vessel pushing on the facial nerve near where the nerve connects to your brain stem. When this happens, the facial nerve may act on its own, sending out nerve signals that cause your muscles to twitch. This is known as an ephaptic transmission, and it’s one of the main causes of these spasms.

An injury to your head or face can also cause hemifacial spasms because of damage or compression of the facial nerve. More uncommon causes of hemifacial spasms can include:

• one or more tumors pushing on your facial nerve
• side effects from an episode of Bell’s palsy, a condition that can cause part of your face to be temporarily paralyzed

TREATMENT

How can I treat hemifacial spasms?

You may be able to reduce your symptoms at home simply by getting plenty of rest and limiting how much caffeine you drink, which can calm your nerves. Having certain nutrients can also help reduce your spasms, including:

• vitamin D, which you can get from eggs, milk, and sunlight
• magnesium, which you can get from almonds and bananas
• chamomile, which is available as a tea or as tablets
• blueberries, which contain muscle-relaxing antioxidants

The most common treatment for these spasms is an oral muscle relaxer that keeps your muscles from twitching. Your doctor may recommend one or more of the following medications to relax your face muscles:

• baclofen (Lioresal)
• clonazepam (Klonopin)
• carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Botulinum toxin type A (Botox) injections are also commonly used to treat hemifacial spasms. In this treatment, your doctor will use a needle to inject small amounts of Botox chemicals into your face near the muscles that are twitching. Botox makes the muscles weak and can reduce your spasms for three to six months before you need another injection.

Talk to your doctor before taking any of these medications about any possible side effects or interactions with other medications you may already be taking.

If medications and Botox aren’t successful, your doctor may also recommend surgery to relieve any pressure on the facial nerve that may be caused by a tumor or a blood vessel.

A common surgery used to treat hemifacial spasms is called a microvascular decompression (MVD). In this procedure, your doctor makes a small opening in your skull behind your ear and puts a piece of Teflon padding between the nerve and the blood vessels pushing on it. This surgery only takes a few hours at most, and you’ll likely be able to go home after a few days of recovery.
