Hemifacial spasm due to vertebrobasillar dolikoectasia: Case report

Abstract

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is unilateral involuntary and painless contractions of the facial muscle innervated by the seventh cranial nerve. It is generally formed by the compression of the root exit zone of the seventh cranial nerve via the neighbourhood artery, due to its vascular dolichoectasia. 3B CISS MR sequences are a necessary imaging method in addition to conventional methods in the evaluation of hemifacial spasm. We aimed to report and discuss the clinical and radiological findings of case with contractions on the left half of his face, having hemifacial spasm due to vertebrobasilar dolichoectasia demonstrated by 3D CISS MRI method.
