Hemifacial spasm

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a peripheral movement disorder caused by direct or indirect compression or distortion of the root exit zone of the seventh cranial nerve, which is most commonly compressed by an arterial loop, but also may be compressed by a tumor, cyst, or aneurysm.

Hemifacial Spasm

Journal of Neurosurgery, 1978
A review of the literature as well as recent surgical observations indicate that hemifacial spasm may be caused by normal or pathological vascular structures that cross-compress the facial nerve. The critical area of compression is invariably found at the brain stem exit zone of the seventh cranial nerve.

Familial Hemifacial Spasm

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1990
Three male patients in successive generations of the same family developed acquired left-sided hemifacial spasm. Magnetic resonance imaging of the proband demonstrated a pontine vertebral artery anomaly near the root of the affected facial nerve. This family and a similar family that was recently presented illustrate several interesting features: (1 ...

Hemifacial spasm in a child

Child's Nervous System, 1991
Hemifacial spasm in a 10-year-old child is herein reported. Computed tomography and angiography were normal. Magnetic resonance imaging showed an anomalous vascular structure, probably a redundant loop arising from AICA or PICA, which was identified at surgery. The spasm, presumably due to vascular compression at the root entry zone of the right facial

Hemifacial Spasm in Infancy

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1990
Three infants presented with the onset of hemifacial spasm after birth and at the age of 10 months. One patient was found to have occlusion of the straight sinus and large collateral veins at the base of the brain, presumably due to venous sinus thrombosis, supporting the concept of vascular compression of the facial nerve at its exit from the brain ...

Hemifacial Spasm: A Review

World Neurosurgery, 1991
Hemifacial spasm can be diagnosed by observation and clinical history. It is thought to arise primarily from compression of the facial nerve at the pons, usually by an adjacent artery. Although many approaches to treatment have been tried, the most effective is microvascular decompression of the facial nerve at the pons.
