Abstract:
:The authors report a case of cerebellopontine angle epidermoid presenting as typical hemifacial spasm. A 33-year-old male had experienced intermittent right hemifacial spasm for 2 years. Cranial nerve examination was otherwise normal, including auditory and trigeminal nerve functions. Metrizamide computed tomographic cisternography and magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a characteristic epidermoid tumor. The tumor was totally removed. Postoperatively, no facial spasm or other facial nerve dysfunction was noted.
