Abstract
|
|
|
Hemifacial spasm is a distressing condition characterized by involuntary, intermittent, unilateral twitching of all or parts of the muscles innervated by the facial nerve. This occurrence is most common in middle-aged women. Because etiology of
idiopathic hemifacial spasm has remained undefined, no causative agent nor reliable treatment has been established.
This report describes a case of CT guided chemical facial nerve block for the treatment of hemifacial spasm. An injection of small amount (0.1ml) of alcohol (95%) provided relief of the facial spasms.
