Facial Neuropathy
Facial neuropathy is a disorder of the nerve that controls the muscles of the face, which affects the expression and movement of one side of the face.
Common symptoms: Weakness or drooping of one side of the face may be noticeable, along with difficulty closing the eye or smiling, and changes in facial sensation.
Common causes: It is usually related to inflammatory processes, infections, or conditions that affect the nerves; in some cases it is associated with rheumatic diseases.
Which specialist treats it? A first guidance with the general practitioner helps steer the evaluation, and the rheumatologist steps in when the condition is linked to an immune system disorder. When faced with sudden facial weakness, the prudent course is to evaluate the case without delay.
