Question
In April 2010, I had surgery for a “right-sided acoustic neuroma” at the First Hospital of Jilin University. After treatment, I have 20% hearing in my right ear, the corner of my right mouth hangs downwards, my left eye has reduced vision, and my right eye is painful and does not close properly. My nose is slightly crooked, and the philtrum is slightly off-center. Can you treat facial paralysis by reconnecting the nerves?
Answer
The patient describes a recurrence of right-sided facial paralysis, decreased vision, and is seeking a good solution. Firstly, nerve cells are not repairable cells; they cannot be restored. Therefore, reconnecting nerves in this manner is very difficult to achieve a recovery effect. However, it is not completely impossible; you can consult with a hospital. In addition to treatment, it is important to maintain a good mood in daily life, as a good mood is very helpful for the recovery of the disease.
