Abstract

Abstract:

Hemifacial spasm (HFS), characterized by unilateral involuntary clonic muscle contractions, is a common cerebral nerve disease. Currently, microvascular decompression based on the classical etiological theory of neurovascular compression is considered to be the most effective treatment for HFS. In recent years, studies on the etiology of HFS have been further deepened. This paper will review the progress in related aspects and provide theoretical basis for determining the etiology of HFS in the future.

Key words: Hemifacial spasm, Microvascular decompression, Etiology, Electrophysiological monitoring
