summary
Because he is a medical student, he needs to know about all kinds of diseases. Recently, the elder of the community said that he has some pain in his nose, and sometimes he even has nosebleed. He suggested that he go to the hospital to have a thorough examination. Now let me tell you about the condition of advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
What condition is advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma
First, there will be more bleeding in advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, and there may be nosebleed; tinnitus, hearing loss and ear occlusion in the early stage will be more serious in the later stage; persistent migraine caused by tumor destruction of skull base or intracranial spread involving cranial nerve in the late stage will be fixed.
Second, as the tumor invades the abducens nerve, it often causes double shadows on the external vision. Trochlear nerve invasion often leads to esotropia and diplopia; in the early stage, it is mostly unilateral nasal obstruction, while in the late stage, it is bilateral nasal obstruction after bilateral nostrils are blocked by tumor; facial skin numbness, clinical examination is pain and tactile decline or disappear.
Third: when nasopharyngeal carcinoma directly invades or lymph node metastases to the posterior styloid region or hypoglossal nerve canal, the hypoglossal nerve is invaded, causing the tongue to stretch to the diseased side, accompanied by atrophy of the lingual muscle on the diseased side; in advanced nasopharyngeal carcinoma, the optic nerve damage or orbital cone is invaded, resulting in the loss or disappearance of vision, and the oculomotor nerve damage causes blepharoptosis and eyeball fixation.
