Question

A colleague’s father is 58 years old and recently went to the hospital for a detailed examination. Due to the brain tumor surgery he underwent, he wants to know how long it takes for facial paralysis after brain tumor surgery to fully recover?

Answer

Facial paralysis after brain tumor surgery is caused by pathological changes due to tissue edema, anesthesia, or allergic injury. If delayed neurological injury is difficult to treat, the condition may worsen. Treatment should be implemented as soon as possible to promote recovery; otherwise, the affected nerves may undergo degenerative changes due to prolonged brain edema, thereby reducing the chance of complete recovery. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery!
