Validation of the Hemifacial Spasm Grading Scale: a clinical tool for hemifacial spasm

Neurological Sciences, 2019
To create an objective rating tool for hemifacial spasm (HFS) and validate it on a cohort of patients.A panel of movement disorders specialists elaborated, through the Delphi method, the Hemifacial Spasm Grading Scale (HSGS). The validity of the scale was tested in a longitudinal, prospective observational study, with standardized video recording ...

Prevalence and severity of neurovascular compression in hemifacial spasm patients

Brain, 2021
Hemifacial spasm is typically caused by vascular compression of the proximal intracranial facial nerve. Although the prevalence of neurovascular compression has been investigated in a cohort of patients with classical trigeminal neuralgia, the prevalence

[Early results of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring in surgical treatment of hemifacial spasm].

Voprosy neirokhirurgii imeni N N Burdenko, 2023
BACKGROUND Neurophysiological monitoring in surgery for hemifacial spasm has been used since the 1990s, when Moller et al. demonstrated the effectiveness of intraoperative assessment of lateral spread response (LSR) regarding postoperative outcomes ...

Facial Nerve Massage for the Treatment of Hemifacial Spasm Refractory to Microvascular Decompression: Outcomes and Complications

Neurosurgery, 2022
BACKGROUND: After microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS), a minority of patients realize little to no relief of spasms. In some patients, the absence of relief of spasms results from incomplete or inadequate decompression of ...

Prospective, Multicenter Clinical Study of Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm.

Neurosurgery, 2021
BACKGROUND Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the most effective procedure for hemifacial spasm (HFS). MVD results from nonspecialized or low-volume institutes are not always reliable.

Awake CT-guided percutaneous stylomastoid foramen puncture and radiofrequency ablation of facial nerve for treatment of hemifacial spasm.

Journal of Neurosurgery, 2021
OBJECTIVE Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a debilitating neuromuscular disorder with limited treatment options. The current study describes a novel minimally invasive procedure that provided effective and sustained relief for patients with HFS.

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.

The Utility of Intraoperative Lateral Spread Recording in Microvascular Decompression for Hemifacial Spasm: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Neurosurgery, 2020
BACKGROUND Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the surgical treatment of choice for hemifacial spasm (HFS). During MVD, monitoring of the abnormal lateral spread response (LSR), an evoked response to facial nerve stimulation, has been traditionally used
