Fluoroscopy Guided Facial Nerve Block in the Treatment of Facial Spasm
|
|
|
|
|
Abstract
|
|
|
Hemifacial spasm is a distressing condition characterized clinically by paroxysmal and an involuntary movement in muscles innervated by the facial nerve on one side of the face. Blockade of the facial nerve can be performed percutaneously,
without
any
serious complications.
There are certain clinical problems associated with the conventional procedure, such as severe pain and technical difficulties to find facial nerve. This report describes a fluoroscope guided facial nerve block. This new technique reduced the
difficulties in identifying the facial nerve and decreased the suffering associated with the conventional way of facial nerve block.
