Objective: To describe a case of secondary hemifacial spasm with atypical features. Background: Hemifacial spasm (HS) is a peripherally induced movement disorder involving involuntary unilateral…Differential Diagnosis Between Functional Facial Spasm and Hemifacial Spasm: Role of Blink Reflex
Objective: We aimed to test the value of Blink Reflex (BR) as an electrophysiological tool in differentiating functional facial spasm (F-FS) from hemifacial spasm (HFS).…Therapeutic effect of OnabotulinumtoxinA in bilateral hemifacial spasm, trigeminal neuralgia and chronic migraine in El Salvador
