Asymmetry of the face is more common in nervous diseases and dental pathologies. Less commonly, the cause of the symptom is trauma, ophthalmological, otolaryngological, congenital diseases. Violation can be static or dynamic, develop due to disorders of innervation, edema, excess or lack of tissue. Determining the cause of asymmetry is carried out using data from general, dental, neurological, otolaryngological examination, radiography, and other imaging techniques. Treatment prior to diagnosis is not indicated.
Joint asymmetry is observed in traumatic injuries, developmental anomalies, inflammatory and degenerative articular pathologies. Sometimes it occurs as a reaction of the body to diseases of other organs and systems. May be due to edema, fluid accumulation, changes in the configuration of solid structures, atrophy, fibrosis of the periarticular soft tissues. The cause of the asymmetry is determined according to the data of the survey, external examination, radiography, ultrasound, and other imaging and laboratory methods. Painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs may sometimes be taken before a diagnosis is made.
