Angiographic manifestations and operative findings with 70 cases of hemifacial spasm: relation of common trunk anomalies

Abstract: Abstract. The relations between angiographic manifestations and operative findings of hemifacial spasm were studied in 70 cases between 1988 and 2001. Vertebral angiography was performed, and Towne, straight AP, and lateral projections were routinely examined. The dominant anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA) directly compressed the facial nerve root exit zone in 26 cases, the dominant posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) in 20, the AICA in 13, the PICA in 2, and the vertebral artery (VA) in 9.

“…The AICA and PICA territories are usually complementary. If one of the AICA or PICA is hypoplastic, the well-developed cerebellar artery supplies the territory of the hypoplastic one (11). This compensatory mechanism also coexists in cases with direct origination from the internal carotid artery.…”

“…Espasmos hemifaciais idiopáticos configuram uma afecção rara, e têm incidência anual de 1 por 10000 pacientes 12 , sendo mais comum em mulheres do que em homens 6 . Frequentemente ocorre em pacientes de meia idade, havendo evidências recentes de que mudanças na parede arterial relacionadas à idade configuram um importante fator relacionado ao surgimento da condição.…”

“…Frequentemente ocorre em pacientes de meia idade, havendo evidências recentes de que mudanças na parede arterial relacionadas à idade configuram um importante fator relacionado ao surgimento da condição. 12 Constitui-se em um distúrbio focal do movimento, caracterizado por contrações involuntárias clônicas ou tônicas, intermitentes, que podem persistir durante o sono, nos músculos inervados pelo nervo facial 1,9 . Na maioria das vezes, inicia-se gradualmente no músculo orbicular dos olhos, seguindo-se por acometimento da metade inferior da face ipsilateralmente.…”
