3 - complications facial paralysis
Aberrant regeneration of the facial nerve
May track the status of facial paralysis some complications where the nerve VII during the recovery to restore growth formation, but that happens in a turbulent and non-normal, resulting in abnormal movements such as closing the eyelid or Altadmaa with moving mouth
During chewing, for example. These complications are treated in very small doses of the drug Botox in the affected places.
4 - eyelid muscle contraction waveform
Eyelid Myokymia
These contractions appear in the form of ripples in the face and eyelid muscle and that only lasts a few seconds. These contractions do not reflect any serious illness and may increase with increasing stress, smoking, excessive drinking beverages containing caffeine, such as tea, coffee and chocolate.
