Question
What are the causes of facial stroke?
Answer
A stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident, is an acute cerebrovascular disease caused by the blockage or rupture of blood vessels in the brain. The symptoms of a facial stroke may include unilateral facial muscle weakness, numbness, or distortion, which are often related to the location and extent of the stroke in the brain. Preventive measures for stroke include controlling hypertension, diabetes, and high cholesterol, as well as maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Treatment may involve thrombolytic therapy, surgery, or other rehabilitation measures.
