Degeneration of urethane sponge prosthesis as source of late recurrence of hemifacial spasm: A case report

Interdisciplinary Neurosurgery, 2023
We describe a case of second microvascular decompression (MVD) 30 years after the first operation. A 54-year-old male first developed left hemifacial spasm (HFS) at age 23 years. He underwent MVD surgery using urethane sponge as prosthesis.
