Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurosurgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Idiopathic hemifacial spasm (IHS) is a neurological disorder characterized by involuntary contractions of facial muscles.
  • Prolonged and slowly progressive cases warrant thorough investigation to rule out underlying structural causes.
  • Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) lesions can present with symptoms mimicking IHS.
