Facial spasm is a common cranial nerve disorder characterized by involuntary, irregular, paroxysmal twitching of the facial muscles. Cholesteatoma (epidermoid cyst) is a benign tumour that often occurs within the skull and spinal canal. When cholesteatoma (epidermoid cyst) occurs in the cerebellar angle of the intracranial pontine, it may compress the facial nerve, causing spasm of the facial muscles. Therefore, for patients with cholesteatoma (epidermoid cyst) induced facial spasm, surgery is an effective method to remove the tumor and relieve the compression of the facial nerve, thereby relieving the symptoms of facial spasm.
Surgery**Cholesteatoma (epidermoid cyst) induces facial spasm as follows:
1.Preoperative evaluation: Conduct a comprehensive examination and evaluation of the patient, including head CT, MRI and other imaging examinations, as well as neurological function examinations. Based on the results of the test, doctors can determine the location, size, and pressure on surrounding tissues of the cholesteatoma (epidermoid cyst), as well as the function of the facial nerve.
2.Surgical preparation: According to the results of preoperative evaluation, the surgical plan is formulated. Surgery is usually performed under general anesthesia. Before the surgery, the patient needs to stop taking anticoagulant drugs, blood-invigorating drugs, etc.
3.Surgical procedure: Surgery is usually performed under a microscope. During surgery, doctors carefully separate the tumor from the facial nerve and remove the tumor completely to remove its compression on the opposite facial nerve. During the surgery, the doctor will use some technical means to protect the function of the facial nerve and prevent facial paralysis after surgery.
The effectiveness of surgery** cholesteatoma (epidermoid cyst) to induce facial spasm varies from individual to individual. For most patients, surgery** is effective in relieving symptoms of facial spasm and improving quality of life.
In conclusion, surgery for cholesteatoma (epidermoid cyst) to induce facial spasm is an effective method. In terms of preoperative evaluation, surgical preparation, and surgical process, patients need to pay attention to cooperate with the doctor's ** and advice. At the same time, patients need to pay attention to maintaining good living habits and mentality to promote physical health and improve quality of life.
