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.

European Neurology, 1984
A 58-year-old woman 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.

Surgical Neurology, 1991
Hemifacial spasm can be diagnosed by observation and clinical history. It is thought to arise primarily from compression of the facial nerve at the pons, usually by an adjacent artery. Although many approaches to treatment have been tried, the most effective is microvascular decompression of the facial nerve at the pons.

A 53 year old lady with diabetes mellitus presented with right hemi-facial spasm (HFS). Brain MRI Scan revealed extensive pan-sinusitis and mild bilateral mastoiditis. She responded well to intravenous ceftriaxone therapy and the hemifacial spasm resolved.

Neurochirurgie, 2018
Almost all primary hemifacial spasms are associated with one or more neurovascular conflicts, most often at the root exit zone in the immediate vicinity of the brainstem. Imaging has first to exclude a secondary hemifacial spasm and secondly to search for and characterize the responsible neurovascular conflict(s).

Is hypertension associated with hemifacial spasm?
Neurology, 2003Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by intermittent twitching of the muscles innervated by the ipsilateral facial nerve.1 Reports of normalization of blood pressure after vascular decompression in hypertensive patients suggest an association of hypertension with brainstem compression.2 A recent multicenter case–control study demonstrated a ...

Surgical anatomy for hemifacial spasm
Neurochirurgie, 2018Classically in the cerebello-pontine angle the facial (CN VII) and vestibular-cochlear (CN VIII) nerves should run parallel with the anterior inferior cerebellar artery, whereas the lower nerves (CN IX-XI) continue with the posterior-inferior-cerebellar artery (PICA).

Position-dependent hemifacial spasm
Surgical Neurology, 1982Hemifacial spasm developed in a 32-year-old man following a brain stem stroke. This stroke followed a self-induced head movement, which is a rare cause of such events. The clonic movements were often related entirely to the position of the head. Carbamazepine was successful in treating the spasm and may be indicated in the medical treatment of this ...

Pitfalls in the Diagnosis of Hemifacial Spasm
The Laryngoscope, 1997AbstractHemifacial spasm (HFS), a condition characterized by involuntary unilateral facial spasms, is a disabling disorder resulting in functional compromise, patient frustration, cosmetic deformity, and social embarrassment. Compression of the seventh nerve at the root entry zone via vascular loop is presently the most widely accepted causative theory.

Hemifacial Spasm in Childhood and Adolescence
Neurosurgery, 1995Hemifacial spasm (HFS), a hyperactive dysfunction of the facial nerve, is rarely seen in young people. Between 1984 and 1994, we treated 924 patients with HFS by microvascular decompression at our institution. Of these, 8 (0.9%) were younger than 30 years.
