Facial Asymmetry is the best sign or indicator of early Alzheimer’s Condition, and evidence of latent brain injury. A brain injury occurring in utero or in neonatal timeframe typically results in contra-coup damage. Any brain damage can result in many complex medical problems, including early onset of Alzheimer’s disease.
Recognition of Facial Asymmetry and/or mental development concerns begins at about age five years. The child begins to self-notice or recognize subtle changes or differences in appearance, reflexes, posture, and proprioception. In mild form, others may not notice.
The affected child, male or female, begins and learns to compensate. Such compensation is a trial and error process. Full time mentality for such compensation is necessary.
Consequently, the child subtly becomes slightly aggressive, socially, educationally, and defensively. Such aggression helps to develop respect and social acceptance and eventual success in competing with peers.
A specific example and an alternate are presented. The first example involves a worldwide, well-known, recently presumed decedent.
The second type of injury is well-known in Dermatology, ‘en coup de sabre’, with similar prognosis.
First example is facial asymmetry. The subject is pertinent to a major worldwide aeronautical disaster mystery, Flight MH370. The forensic signs are clear, from public photographs. There is no brain/body for autopsy, to diagnose brain injury, per se.
The photograph clearly shows the left face is larger than the right face, in a recent pre-accident picture. Also, the left eye/orbit is larger and higher than the right. The left eyebrow is higher and thicker than the right. The left upper and lower lip is lower than the right. The left nares and nostril and nasal fold are higher and larger than the right.
The photograph estimated ten to twenty years prior, reveals same defects, less prominent. Also shorter right forehead hairline, recessed more than the left, smaller size scalp on right.
Those children that are successful in the first eighteen years, typically carry their successes through college and approximately through age forty-something.
Beginning in the forth-fifth decade, early Alzheimer’s typically develops. The affected are usually first to recognize changes. They are reluctant to seek professional help because of the consequences to their careers.
The next phase, renewed conscious compensatory efforts ensue. The individual proprietivly seeks vitamins, O.T.C. medications, begins reading, researching, and familiarizing personal and occupational procedures and tasks in order to increase and maintain affect and skill levels. This becomes tiresome, worrisome, and fear develops.
Some individuals, fearing the worst, initiate plans for exit! One form of exit, could be self-martyr, to cover themselves, with complete disregard for all others.
Most individuals endure as long as possible, seek medical advice, retire or semi-retire, and eventually requires constant assistance. There are many forms, types, and causes of Alzheimer’s disease. The above description is but one specific type.
