Asymmetry of the nasolabial folds is a sign of a number of neurological diseases, occurs in some dental pathologies, and may be the result of aesthetic operations, cosmetic manipulations. The difference in depth and angles of inclination of the folds ranges from insignificant to pronounced. Pathology is often observed simultaneously with other types of facial asymmetry. The reason for the violation of the symmetry of the nasolabial folds is determined according to the survey, neurological examination, imaging and electrophysiological techniques. Treatment prior to diagnosis is not indicated.
Increased tactile sensitivity (hyperesthesia) is characterized by heightened perception when exposed to stimuli. It is observed in mononeuropathy, polyneuropathy, ganglionitis, ganglioneuritis, causalgia, erythromelalgia, meningeal syndrome, and some other neurological, rheumatic and infectious diseases. The cause is determined by the results of the conversation, neurological examination, electromyography, cerebral MRI, laboratory tests and other studies. Treatment includes analgesics, antimicrobial agents, antispasmodics, ganglion blockers, and other drugs. Conduct physiotherapy. In some cases, operations are performed.
Triparesis is detected in craniocerebral and spinal cord injuries, neoplasia, spinal cord abscesses, poliomyelitis, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and some polyneuropathies. The cause of the violation is established on the basis of complaints, neurological examination data, imaging techniques, and laboratory tests. The tactics of treatment is determined taking into account the nature of the pathology. Neuroprotectors, antibiotics, antiplatelet agents, hormonal agents, and other drugs are prescribed. Operations are performed according to indications.
