The role of genetic factors in the development of hemifacial spasm: preliminary results.

Acta neurochirurgica. Supplement - 1 Jan 2008

Abstract excerpt

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) has been reported to result from vascular compression of the facial nerve at the root entry zone. The pathogenesis of HFS is not completely understood. Some study groups described that the vascular compression was due to the morphological changes of the vessel such as vertebral artery shifting. In this study, radiological evidence of VA shifting was identified in 26 (59.1%) of 44 patients...
