Asking for Other, Male, 24 years old, Karachi
Aoa, help required! Asking on behalf of my friend.
Since 1 year he is saying that he can't feel his face head and neck and since 2 days he is feeling vibration ( electric shock like pain ) in body after every 5 mins. He has done all of his tests like MRI brain, heart Echo, Tsh, and all the blood tests. All are clear. Age: 24
Kindly tell what could be the reason?
Thanks
Dear concernd. Sensory supply of face is through trigeminal nerve ( 5th nerve) any problem in territory of 5th nerve presents with the symptoms u just narrated. If all the investigations are normal , most probable diagnoses is trigeminal neuralgia , which is treatableFor further details pt examination is required. Thanks
What is the reason that your friend can’t seek help himself? A complaint of loss of sensation over the whole of face is not anatomically possible. Therefore his complaint should be regarded as psychosomatic. If he wants to consult me he must make an appointment for online consultation through Marham.
