Hemifacial Spasm in Childhood [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences / Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques, 1986
ABSTRACT:A nine-year-old girl presented with right hemifacial spasm (HFS) of 27 months duration. Stimulation of the right supraorbital nerve produced synkinesis of the ipsilateral facial muscles. Latency and amplitude of the blink reflex were equal bilaterally. Other investigations including computerized tomography (CT) were negative.

Predicting outcome of hemifacial spasm after microvascular decompression with intraoperative monitoring: A systematic review

Heliyon, 2021
Background: Microvascular decompression has been established as a primary treatment for hemifacial spasm. Intraoperative monitoring is used during the surgery to guide neurosurgeons to determine whether the decompression of facial nerve from the vessel ...

Antiviral treatment for Bell's palsy (idiopathic facial paralysis) [PDF]

, 2009
BACKGROUND: Antiviral agents against herpes simplex virus are widely used in the treatment of idiopathic facial paralysis (Bell's palsy), but their effectiveness is uncertain. Significant morbidity can be associated with severe cases.

Role of the "other Babinski sign" in hyperkinetic facial disorders [PDF]

, 2017
BACKGROUND: The "other Babinski sign" consists in the co-contraction of the orbicularis and frontalis muscles, causing an eyebrow elevation during ipsilateral eye closure. It cannot be voluntarily reproduced.

Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potentials' Diagnostic Accuracy for Hearing Loss: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Microvascular decompression (MVD) utilizes brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) intraoperative monitoring to reduce the risk of iatrogenic hearing loss.

Intraoperative Neurophysiological Monitoring during Microvascular Decompression Surgery for Hemifacial Spasm

Journal of Korean Neurosurgical Society, 2019
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is due to the vascular compression of the facial nerve at its root exit zone (REZ). Microvascular decompression (MVD) of the facial nerve near the REZ is an effective treatment for HFS.

Computer Vision Technologies in Movement Disorders: A Systematic Review

Movement Disorders Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evaluation of movement disorders primarily relies on phenomenology. Despite refinements in diagnostic criteria, the accuracy remains suboptimal. Such a gap may be bridged by machine learning and video technology, which permit objective, quantitative, non‐invasive motor analysis.

Successful Treatment of Hemifacial Spasm Caused by an Ectatic Vertebral Artery Accompanying Agenesis of the Carotid Artery

The Surgery Journal, 2016
We report the successful treatment of a patient with hemifacial spasm due to a tortuous vertebral artery that appeared to have developed to compensate for agenesis of the ipsilateral carotid artery.

Significant Correlation between Delayed Relief after Microvascular Decompression and Morphology of the Abnormal Muscle Response in Patients with Hemifacial Spasm

Neurologia Medico-Chirurgica, 2022
Although microvascular decompression (MVD) is a reliable treatment for hemifacial spasm (HFS), postoperative delayed relief of persistent HFS is one of the main issues.

Gamma knife surgery for facial nerve schwannomas. [PDF]

, 2007
Radical resection of facial nerve schwannomas classically implies a high risk of severe facial palsy. Owing to the rarity of facial palsy after gamma knife surgery (GKS) of vestibular schwannomas, functional evaluation after GKS seems rational in this ...
