The following is the part of the text:
[Objective] This report describes a patient with bilateral peripheral facial paralysis who was strongly suspected to have neurosarcoidosis and whose facial paralysis improved after acupuncture treatment.

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

palsy Vs Paralysis

Palsy is the name for paralysis accompanied by tremors. Permanent paralysis means you never regain muscle control. The condition is irreversible. Paralysis can affect any part of the body.

So I advice not

parálisis

It's a short way to write paralysis, frequently in the related titles.
Unfortunately in Spanish, we haven't.


Example sentence:

patient with bilateral peripheral facial paralysis/In this title may palsy be better?

paciente con perdida de sensibilidad facial periférica bilateral/ ¿No sería mejor parálisis, en el título ?
