10 Blood Clot in Brain Symptoms
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #7: Facial Droop
The two commonest causes of facial drooping or facial paralysis are due to Bell’s palsy or an ischemic stroke (blood clot in the brain). Since a stroke is a time-critical condition, it is crucial to distinguish the difference between a stroke and Bell’s palsy to avoid delays in treatment.
Facial droop or weakness caused by a blood clot in the brain usually involves the central portion of the face such as the nose and mouth while sparing the eyes and forehead. Bell’s palsy affects the ipsilateral upper and lower portion of the face.
