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 ...

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.

Archives of Neurology, 1976
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.

The Journal of Neuropsychiatry and Clinical Neurosciences, 2001
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 ...

Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry, 1945
Hemifacial spasm is a minor, but distressing, neurologic disease. The records of 663 patients seen at the Mayo Clinic for various unwonted movements of the face have been reviewed; of these, 106 had cryptogenic hemifacial spasm. While we have been primarily interested in clarifying the prognosis, many other aspects of the disease are not generally ...

Revista medica de Panama, 1991
A patient with hemifacial spasm is presented and the surgical treatment discussed. The compression was located at the level of the vascular supply of the left facial nerve trunk. Through a left suboccipital retromastoid craneotomy a microscopic vascular decompression was performed with satisfactory results.

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].
