Operative Findings of over 5000 Microvascular Decompression Surgeries for Hemifacial Spasm: Our Perspective and Current Updates

Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a hyperactive cranial neuropathy, and it has been well established that the cause of primary HFS is compression on the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial–vestibulocochlear nerve complex (CN VII-VIII) by a vessel or vessels. MVD is the only curative treatment option for HFS...

description Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a hyperactive cranial neuropathy, and it has been well established that the cause of primary HFS is compression on the root exit zone (REZ) of the facial–vestibulocochlear nerve complex (CN VII-VIII) by a vessel or vessels. MVD is the only curative treatment option for HFS with a high success rate and low incidence of recurrence and complications. We categorize six classical compressive patterns on the REZ as well as five challenging types. Knowledge of these patterns may help in achieving a better surgical outcome.
