8. Neurological Nuances: The Brain’s Subtle Symptoms
While PRS predominantly showcases its effects on the face, it also whispers its presence in the brain. These neurological nuances, often overshadowed by the more evident facial symptoms, are subtle, intricate, and deeply intriguing.
Seizures become an unwelcome part of life for some with PRS. Picture this: the electrical storm in the brain that triggers these episodes might be linked to the same mysterious mechanisms causing the facial atrophy. The correlation isn’t fully understood, but it’s a research frontier teeming with potential discoveries.
Then there’s the matter of headaches. Not your ordinary tension headache, but migraines. These are not just intensified headaches; they’re a neurological event, sometimes accompanied by auras, dizziness, and nausea. PRS seems to amplify the likelihood of these episodes, adding another layer to its enigmatic nature.
In a curious turn of events, some patients have reported changes in their senses. Altered taste and smell, or even a tingling sensation on the face, have been noted. It’s like PRS sneaks in and tweaks the very wiring of the brain, altering how the world is perceived. (8)
