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...
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...

متن کاملHemifacial Spasm and Neurovascular Compression
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by involuntary unilateral contractions of the muscles innervated by the ipsilateral facial nerve, usually starting around the eyes before progressing inferiorly to the cheek, mouth, and neck. Its prevalence is 9.8 per 100,000 persons with an average age of onset of 44 years. The accepted pathophysiology of HFS suggests that it is a disease process of the ...
متن کاملHemifacial spasm complicating diabetic ketoacidosis.
Chorea, hemichorea, hemiballismus and other parkinsonian movement disorders have been described in type 1 diabetic patient with uncontrolled hyperglycemia. In comparison, abnormal movements in diabetic ketoacidosis are rare though ketosis due to other causes can cause parkinsonism-like movement disorders. We report two cases of diabetic ketoacidosis where hemifacial spasm was the predominant cl...
