Jul 1st, 2022 - Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) surgery represents a challenge for neurosurgeons due to the high risk of iatrogenic injury of vital neurological structures. Therefore, important efforts in improving the surgical techniques and intraoperative neurophy...

Jun 30th, 2022 - Our project has the following aims: Aim 1: to determine if any difference exists in safety or efficacy between patients receiving injections of botulinum toxin at 10-week or shorter intervals as compared to patients receiving injections at 12-week...

Jun 22nd, 2022 - To discuss effect of intraoperative compound abnormal muscle response (AMR) in patients undergoing microvascular decompression (MVD) for hemifacial spasm (HFS). Eighty-six HFS patients were underwent single or compound AMR monitoring during MVD. S...

Jun 7th, 2022 - Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is generally caused by compression of the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial nerve by the anterior and posterior inferior cerebellar arteries and occasionally the vertebral artery (VA). Owing to its large caliber and high st...

Jun 1st, 2022 - Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is mainly caused by vascular compression on the roots of the VII cranial nerves from the brain stem. Microvascular decompression (MVD) is the exact surgical method for the treatment of HFS, but the incidence of dizziness and...

May 11th, 2022 - Up to now, multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) has been widely used to detect the neurovascular compressions (NVC) on the patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS). However, due to lack of stereoscopic vision, this traditional method sometimes can not mee...

May 6th, 2022 - The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Abobotulinum Toxin Type A (Dysport) injection and Neubotulinum Toxin Type A (Neuronox) Injection for Hemifacial Spasm. The secondary objective of the study was to evalua...

Apr 12th, 2022 - Blepharospasm is a dystonia described by sustained, forced, involuntary closure of both eyelids, caused by muscle contraction. Hemifacial spasm occurs on one side of the face and can result in complete closure of one eye, and spasms across the che...

May 24th, 2017 - Cynthia L. Comella, MD [[{"attributes":{},"fields":{}}]] MIAMI—Botulinum toxin injection is the first-line treatment for most focal dystonias.

Oct 27th, 2015 - Case Diagnosis This patient has oculomotor apraxia (OMA). In spasmus nutans, the head movement is a vertical nodding, and a fine asymmetric nystagmus is usually present. This patient does not have ptosis or eyelid movements that are consistent wit...

Apr 3rd, 2013 - Case Diagnosis Given the patient's findings, the most likely diagnosis is hemifacial spasm.[1] Hemifacial spasm is differentiated from blepharospasm in that it is unilateral and the spasm will persist during sleep. Unlike in blepharospasm, oral se...

Abstract and Introduction Abstract Objective: In microvascular decompression surgery for trigeminal neuralgia and hemifacial spasm, the bridging veins are dissected to provide the surgical corridors, and the veins of the brainstem may be mobilized...
