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 ...

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

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a peripherally induced movement disorder causing clonic or tonic contractions of the facial muscles. HFS is usually unilateral and sporadic. It may be primary (mainly attributed to vascular compressions of the seventh cranial nerve in the posterior fossa) or secondary to facial nerve or brainstem damage.

Among 155 cases of hemifacial spasm (HFS), the authors found two cases of atypical HFS (1.3%) in which spasm started with the orbicularis oris and buccinator muscles, and gradually spread upward to involve the orbicularis occuli muscle, whereas the reverse process is usually seen in cases of typical HFS. The compression site in cases of atypical HFS is

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.

Facial spasms that distort facial expression are typically due to facial dystonia, tics, and hemifacial spasm (HFS). Psychogenic facial spasms, however, have not been well characterized. The authors sought to 1) determine prevalence of psychogenic facial spasm in patients referred for evaluation of HFS and 2) draw attention to clinical characteristics ...

We conducted polygraphic studies during wakefulness and all-night sleep in 13 patients with cryptogenic and 3 with postparalytic hemifacial spasm. The movements decreased progressively with deepening sleep stages, reaching lowest values in REM sleep. The reduction was inversely related to the severity of movements during wakefulness.

A 6-week-old infant had recurrent contractions of the facial musculature on the left side, which continued throughout early childhood. Surgical exploration at 5 1/2 years of age revealed a ganglioneuroma of the fourth ventricle. Hemifacial spasm (HFS) in infancy and childhood suggests the possibility of serious intracranial pathologic findings.

AbstractWe present a family in which hemifacial spasm involving in all cases the left side of the face occurred in five persons in three generations. Blink reflexes recorded in two cases demonstrated an unexpected R1 component on the affected side during stimulation of the contralateral side.

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.
