It's not stroke

You have determined the most likely diagnosis is Bell's Palsy. How do you explain this to Mr. Budi and his son, Ari, over the video link?

  • Good news: it's not a stroke. Bad news: it's Bell's Palsy. It's not life-threatening. We must protect your eye. Recovery takes time but is usually excellent.
  • My diagnosis is idiopathic peripheral seventh nerve palsy (LMN pattern), which rules out a stroke. We will treat the nerve inflammation with oral glucocorticoids.
  • Good news, it's not a stroke! Don't worry. It's just a common, temporary nerve inflammation. Take these simple pills; it resolves quickly on its own.
