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

Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii imeni S.S. Korsakova, 2011
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.

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.

Hemifacial spasm

Zhurnal nevrologii i psikhiatrii im. S.S. Korsakova, 2020
Hemifacial spasm (HFS), or facial hemispasm, is a paroxysmal hyperkinetic disorder involving muscles innervated by the facial nerve, mainly on the one hand. The development of HFS is based on neurovascular conflict. However, it is impossible to explain the clinical manifestations of HFS only by nerve compression.

Hemifacial spasm in sleep

Neurology, 1986
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.

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
