Abstract:Hemifacial Spasm,also called facial tic is one side facial muscular paroxysm non-spontaneous and non-pain recurrent rigidity or tic caused by abnormal excitement of the same side facial nerves.The pathogenesisof the disease is still unclear with slow symptoms progression and progressive development.With the widespread application of microvascular decompression,the pathogenesis of hemifacial spasm is more profoundly understood.In this article,a review is made about clinical diagnose and progress of medical and surgical treatment to improve the standardized clinical treatment of facial spasm.
