 Hemifacial spasm is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary paroxysmal chronic contractions of the facial musculature. The usual cause is simple vascular compression of the facial nerve,at its root exit zone of the brain stem. Previously only a case of hemifacial spasm associated with a juglar foramen tumor has been reported in the literature. In this article,we report a case in which hemifacial spasm accompanied an ipsilateral juglar foramen tumor in a 62-year-old woman. The sole use of arterial decompression of the facial nerve at the root exit zone resulted in complete resolution of the patient's symptoms.
