Hemifacial spasm. Nerve block with phenol under electromyographic control

N G Toremalm, D Elmqvist, A Elner

    Acta Oto-Laryngologica
    |March 1, 1977
    PubMed
    Summary

    Selective nerve block using 3% phenol offers an effective alternative to surgery for hemifacial spasm. This ambulatory treatment shows comparable results to surgical interventions, with electromyography (EMG) suggesting central origins for the condition.
