Facial Myokymia

Pathological Features

Edward A. Waybright, MD; Ludwig Gutmann, MD; Sam M. Chou, MD, PhD

Arch Neurol. 1979;36(4):244-245.


Abstract

• Pathologic examination in a case of facial myokymia showed edema and mild astroglial proliferation of the ipsilateral seventh nerve nucleus; gliomatous tumor involvement occurred rostral to this nucleus. These findings give circumstantial support to functional deafferentation as the cause of facial myokymia.
