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.

A correlative analysis between inflammatory cytokines and trigeminal neuralgia or hemifacial spasm
Neurological Research, 2019Background: It is necessary to understand the mechanism of trigeminal neuralgia (TN) and hemifacial spasm (HFS) in order to seek for an effective noninvasive remedy.

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

Pathogenesis of Hemifacial Spasm [PDF]
, 2020 Hemifacial spasm (HFS), a hyperactive motor dysfunction of the facial nerve, is believed to be caused by vascular compression at the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial nerve, which offered the basis for microvascular decompression (MVD) to become the standard treatment for HFS [1–5].

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].
