Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is characterized by tonic and clonic contractions of the muscles
innervated by the ipsilateral facial nerve. It is important to distinguish this from other causes …

Purpose: To assess the clinical efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for
neuroimaging and to provide guidelines for clinical practice. Study Selection: After a …

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a peripherally induced movement disorder characterized by
involuntary, unilateral, intermittent, irregular, tonic or clonic contractions of muscles …

✓ Until recently, the inability to demonstrate neurovascular compression of the trigeminal
nerve preoperatively resulted in surgery being offered only in cases of severe trigeminal …

BACKGROUND: Until recently, it has been impossible to demonstrate vascular compression
at the root entry or exit zone (REZ) of the trigeminal nerve and facial nerve in patients with …

MRI was used to investigate 100 patients with hemifacial spasm, using 3D-FT T2-weighted
(CISS) and contrast-enhanced 3D-FT T1-weighted (turbo-FLASH) sequences in all cases …

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a peripherally induced movement disorder causing clonic or
tonic contractions of the facial muscles. HFS is usually unilateral and sporadic. It may be …

Seven consecutive patients with multiple sclerosis and trigeminal neuralgia were
investigated with MRI to determine the occurrence of a lesion which would account for the …

Transcranial color‐coded duplex sonography (TCCD), magnetic resonance angiography
(MRA), and computed tomography angiography (CTA) are novel noninvasive or minimally …

Background: Hemifacial spasm (HFS) can be disabling and affect quality of life. There is a
lack of a validated scale for evaluating botulinum toxin (BTX) response in HFS. Objective …
