Diagnosis and treatment of functional facial disorders

doi:10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2023.03.013

Abstract

Abstract: Functional movement disorder (FMD) is a common conversion disorder, and those who involve the face are called functional facial disorders. It seriously affects patients' social contact and work. Most clinicians have insufficient understanding of functional facial disorders, resulting in delayed diagnosis and treatment. This paper reviews the clinical features, electrophysiology, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, and treatment of functional facial disorders to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: Conversion disorder, Facial muscles, Review

摘要： 功能性运动障碍是临床常见的转换障碍，累及面部者称为功能性面部疾病，影响患者社交和工作能力。目前大多数临床医师对此类疾病认识尚不充分，使疾病诊断与治疗不及时。本文综述功能性面部疾病的临床表现、电生理学特征、诊断与鉴别诊断、临床管理，以提高临床诊断与治疗水平。
