What happens during the disease - geniculate ganglionitis
Geniculate ganglionitis is an inflammatory disorder of the geniculate ganglion, a facial nerve nucleus located in the brainstem. it is thought to be caused by an autoimmune process, in which the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells in the geniculate ganglion. this leads to inflammation, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including facial paralysis, hearing loss, and tinnitus. treatment typically involves a combination of corticosteroids and immunosuppressive medications to reduce inflammation and prevent further damage.
