Question
A coworker fell from a three-story building and was left with facial paralysis. Can long-term facial paralysis be cured?
Answer
If facial paralysis reappears after more than a decade, it should be considered that it is due to damage to the facial nerve or trigeminal nerve. If these neurological injuries are treated in a timely manner, they can be completely restored. However, after more than a decade, the damaged nerves have fully scarred and cannot be reconstructed, leaving no treatment options. In the future, if neurological injuries occur again, early treatment should be implemented.
