Hi there. This facial neurological defict is because of the brain stroke. stroke can be thrombotic, embolic, hemorrhagic, hypoperfusion related etc and can affect one of the 3 central nervous system pathways like spinothalamic tract, corticospinal tract and dorsal column, symptoms include hemiplegia and muscle weakness of face, numbness, reduction in sensory and vibration sensation.
Usually unilateral, opposite side of the brain part affected. Brain stem including the 1 cranial nerves can also get involved. so this needs to be seen by a neurologist. It akes time for facial weakness recovery and sometimes the deficit persists. Take care.
Hello there,
Could you please describe what you are meaning by giddiness? Do you mean giddy as excited, laughing, over happy?
With regard to his facial droop, this is normal in stroke patients, and will recover over time but there may always be a slight droop there. In terms of stroke, 3 months after is still very early days and there is still much more time for recovery.
I need to know more... what you mean by giddiness?
Regards, Dee
