DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial Spasm Characterized by: 30 Paroxysmal, involuntary clonic and tonic synchronous contraction of the muscles innervated by the facial nerve on one side. The spasms are due to brief burst of normal motor units firing at high frequency.

DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial Spasm Causes: 33 Vascular compression of the facial nerve by a dolichoectatic (a distorted, dilated, and elongated) vertebral artery or tortuous AICA. Facial nerve compression by a mass, brainstem lesions such as stroke or multiple sclerosis plaques.

DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial spasm 41 Unilateral (rarely bilateral) spasm involving half of the facial muscles, typically lasting several minutes at a time. Affects women more than men. Onset fifth and sixth decade. Persists during sleep.
DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial spasm 42 Painless, no sensory loss. Involves entire side of face. HS most often begins insidiously in the orbicularis oculi muscle.
DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial spasm 43 Contractions gradually spread to other muscles of the face including the platysma
DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial spasm 44
DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial spasm Differential Dx: 45 Blepharospasm Meige’s syndrome (not to be confused with Meigs' syndrome,the triad of ascites,pleural effusion and benign ovarian tumor) Tourette’s syndrome (multiple compulsive muscle spasms associated with utterances of bizarre sounds or vile words). Trigeminal Neuralgia (acute episodes of pain in the distribution of the V CN) Eyelid Myokymia (eyelid twitches; caffeine & stress) Tardive Dyskinesia (Orofacial dyskinesia, associated with dystonic movements of the trunk and limbs, from long-term antipsychotic drug use) Eyelid apraxia
DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial spasm Blepharospasm: 46 Onset: usually in adult life (sixth & seventh decade) 3:1 female predominance Always Bilateral, episodic, involuntary contractions of the orbicularis oculi (therefore, may not involve other facial muscles). Disappears during sleep. Possible association with involuntary spasm of the lower facial musculature (orofacial dyskinesia or Meige’s Syndrome).
DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Hemifacial spasm Blepharospasm: 47 Etiology: Adults: usually idiopathic (“essential blepharospasm”) related to dysfunction of the basal ganglia and limbic system. May occur in patients with: Parkinson’s disease Progressive supranuclear palsy Huntington’s disease Multiple Sclerosis Brainstem stroke May occur in patients with: Parkinson’s disease Progressive supranuclear palsy Huntington’s disease Multiple Sclerosis Brainstem stroke

DR AMR HASAN AL HASANY Pearls 76 Up to 50 units at one treatment. Injection should not be made inferior to the nasolabial fold! Injections here cause lip droop that in turns leads to very annoying lip biting by the patient. Avoid injecting the mid portion of the upper lid so as to avoid paralyzing the levator palpebri and causing ptosis. Avoid orbicularis oris Smaller dose for zygomaticus major Lower dose if secondary to facial palsy
