**For illustration only, not a party to the event. If the mouth is crooked and the eyes are slanted, see a neurology department first

Seventy-year-old Ms. Wang took out her mobile phone to take a group photo with her friends during a dinner party. When she got home, she wanted to share the photos on her phone with her daughter, but when she looked at the photos, she found that her smiling mouth was crooked, and the position of her left and right eyebrows was different. She hurriedly looked in the mirror and moved her mouth, the corners of her mouth were really crooked to the left, only the left eyebrow was raised when her eyes looked up, and the right Mu Mo did not have a forehead line on the side of her forehead.

Although she was nimble with her hands and feet, she was worried about whether she had a stroke, a brain tumor or some other strange illness, and even wondered if it had something to do with the meal that night.

For this reason, she couldn't sleep all night and immediately went to the neurology clinic the next morning. The physician diagnosed mild right peripheral facial nerve palsy and, fortunately, neither a stroke nor a brain tumor. Since Ms. Wang is not diabetic and does not have blisters or pain in her right ear, her peripheral facial nerve palsy is considered to be of unknown origin.

The doctor prescribed Ms. Wang oral steroids for a week and showed her how to do facial exercises such as pouting, puffing out her cheeks, whistling and facial **. Because of facial nerve palsy, the number of blinks in her right eye was significantly reduced, and the doctor also prescribed eye drops to moisturize her eyes and prevent corneal injury.

It's scary! Was it a stroke?

Our facial expressions can convey a lot of information, raising our eyebrows and baring our teeth, squinting our eyes, pouting our lips, frowning and pursing our lips, all of which will inadvertently reveal the joys, sorrows, and sorrows in our hearts, and it is the facial nerves that affect the facial muscles and create rich expressions.

In addition to the first pair of olfactory nerves and the second pair of optic nerves, the other cranial nerves come out of the brainstem located below the cerebral hemispheres and distribute to the organs of the head, face, larynx, and neck.

Among them, the seventh pair of cranial neural tubes is the muscle action of the face, so it is also called the facial nerve. However, the pain and sensations of cold and heat in the face are governed by the fifth cranial nerve (also known as the trigeminal nerve), so when a person's facial nerve is paralyzed, the ** sensation of the face is still normal.

The facial nerve originates from the nerve cells of the brainstem and belongs to the peripheral nerve, like Ms. Wang's case, the peripheral facial nerve palsy. However, the nerve cells of the brainstem are also controlled by the contralateral brain, and the pathway from the brain to the brainstem is the central nervous system that many people have heard about.
