Excerpt

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is an uncommon disorder characterized by involuntary paroxysmal movement of one-half of the face, accounting for a yearly incidence of about 1 person per 10,000 people [1]. It is generally known that essential HFS is caused by vascular compression of the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial nerve [1]. …
