Electromyographic responses (MD-OC) of the orbicularis oculi muscle to stimulation of ipsilateral marginal mandibular branch of the facial nerve were recorded in 20 patients with hemifacial spasm,pre-, post-operatively and during operations to relieve it by microvascular decompression, and the abnormal features and origin of the MD-OC were investigated.

On the affected side, the MD-OC were recorded in pre- and during operative state, and disap-peared with disappearnce of hemifacial spasm after microvascular decompression, while no response was recorded in pre-, during and post-operative state on the healthy side.

In 17 patients, the MD-OC was recorded con-tinuously during operation. In all cases except for one case in whom the MD-OC was recorded even the end of operation, the MD-OC disappeared on several stage of procedure from dural opening through vascular mobilization.

The compound nerve action potential (MD-VII) to stimulation of the marginal mandibular branch was recorded from the facial nerve near its root entry zone after exposure of the intracranial por-tion. There were two patterns in the records, i. e., one group consisting of early component and the other consisting of early and late component. The MD-VIE was only consisted of the early com-ponent in 12 cases in whom the MD-OC have already disappeared, and was consisted of the early and late component in 5 cases in whom the MD-OC still recorded. And in 2 cases of the later, the late component disappeared simultane-ously with disappearance of the MD-OC during vascular mobilization. In addition, the latency of the MD-OC (mean latency : 9.0 msec) was nearly equal to the sum of the latency of the response of orbicularis oculi muscle to stimulation of the facial nerve near its root exit zone (mean : 4.4 msec) and the latency of the late component of the MD-VII (mean : 4.3 msec).

These results suggest that the MD-OC and the late component of the MD-VII may have the same origin. The latency differnece (mean : 1.8 msec) of the late and early component of the MD-VII was longer than transmission time via ephapsis.

In conclusion, the MD-OC is abnormal finding characteristic of the affected side and is not likely to originate from ephapsis in the facial nerve at the site of vascular compression.
