    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Ophthalmology
    • Neurosurgery

    Background:

    • Abnormal facial movements encompass various conditions, including hemifacial spasm and blepharospasm.
    • Idiopathic hemifacial spasm and essential blepharospasm are distinct neurological movement disorders affecting facial muscles.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a useful technique for symptomatic relief of idiopathic hemifacial spasm.
    • To recount experiences in the operative treatment of essential blepharospasm.

    Main Methods:

    • A specific technique was employed for 15 patients with idiopathic hemifacial spasm.
    • Surgical treatment was performed on 6 patients diagnosed with essential blepharospasm.

    Main Results:

    • The described technique proved beneficial for symptomatic relief in patients with idiopathic hemifacial spasm.
    • Operative treatment yielded experiences that are detailed for essential blepharospasm cases.

    Conclusions:

    • The presented technique offers a viable option for managing idiopathic hemifacial spasm.
    • Surgical interventions can be considered for essential blepharospasm, with outcomes to be further analyzed.
