CT and hemifacial spasm.
Forty-six patients with typical hemifacial spasm had CT. Thirty-eight (83%) were abnormal, including two with surgically documented tumors. Thirty-six had a characteristic dolichoectatic vertebrobasilar artery, with the convexity pointing to the side of the spasm in 92% of the scans. This study suggests that CT is worthwhile procedure in the evaluation of hemifacial spasm and that dolichoectati...

METHODS Between 2001 and 2011, 20 familial HFS patients with ten different pedigrees visited our hospital.

A selective compression of the facial nerve root along its exit at the brainstem by a localised inflammatory process is the most tenable explanation for the development of the hemifacial spasm.
متن کاملHemifacial spasm: 20-year surgical experience, lesson learned
BACKGROUND Hemifacial spasm is characterized by unilateral, paroxysmal, and involuntary contractions. It is more common in women on the left side. Its evolution is progressive, and it rarely improves without treatment. METHODS Microvascular decompressions (N = 226) were performed in 194 Hispanic patients (May 1992-May 2011). Outcomes were evaluated on a 4-point scale: Excellent (complete remi...
متن کاملHemifacial spasm and craniovertebral anomaly.
Two patients with congenital anomaly of the craniovertebral junction causing disabling hemifacial spasm (HFS) are presented. In one patient, complete cessation of the HFS occurred for a period of two years following simple bony decompression of the craniovertebral junction raising unanswered questions as to the exact pathogenesis of HFS. Eventually both patients required microvascular decompres...
