AbstractTwo brothers developed hemifacial spasm at 63 and 70 years of age. Spasms occurred on the left and right sides of the face, respectively. Computed tomography scan and magnetic resonance imaging failed to show any abnormality. In addition, a third sibling reported a history of a peripheral facial palsy, which remitted spontaneously without ...

Latanoprost in hemifacial spasm
Prostaglandins & Other Lipid Mediators, 2002An empirical observation that the prostaglandin derivate latanoprost quited facial spasms in patients with glaucoma prompted us to study latanoprost in non-glaucomatous patients with hemifacial spasms [HFS]. This explorative trial followed an open-label, prospective treatment design.

Six patients with idiopathic hemifacial spasm refractory to the usually employed medications were successfully treated with baclofen. Adverse side effects were found in only 1 patient (memory loss) which was controlled with administration of piracetam. We suggest that there is an association between stress and certain cases of hemifacial spasm and that

Forty-six patients with typical hemifacial spasm had CT. Thirty-eight (83%) were abnormal, including two with surgically documented tumors. Thirty-six had a characteristic dolichoectatic vertebrobasilar artery, with the convexity pointing to the side of the spasm in 92% of the scans. This study suggests that CT is worthwhile procedure in the evaluation

Pathophysiology of hemifacial spasm
1994Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by attacks of spasm on one side of the face that usually begin as small contractions around the eye and that over several years increase in intensity while progressing down the face as the intensity of the spasm increases [4, 5].

Almost all primary hemifacial spasms are associated with one or more neurovascular conflicts, most often at the root exit zone in the immediate vicinity of the brainstem. Imaging has first to exclude a secondary hemifacial spasm and secondly to search for and characterize the responsible neurovascular conflict(s).

A 58-year-old women with long-standing hemifacial spasm experienced dramatic relief of symptomatology while receiving baclofen (Lioresal®) in a daily dosage of 37.5 mg. Clinical response was noted within 48 h and she remained asymptomatic during 12 months of treatment. No toxic or side-effects were observed.

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a hyperkinetic disorder predominantly associated with neurovascular conflict (NVC). The article presents a clinical case of familial HFS in three females from successive generations (age of onset 25—28 years). In two patients, the onset was associated with childbirth. MRI revealed an NVC in one patient, while in the other two,

Neurology, 1979
Twenty-three patients with hemifacial spasm were studied clinically and electrodiagnostically. Seven patients had mild facial weakness. All patients had clinical evidence of synkinesis, which often varied considerably. Facial nerve conduction and blink reflex latencies were normal. Facial synkinesis could be measured objectively on the involved side in
