Hemifacial Spasm Treatment in Bhopal

Understanding Hemifacial Spasm

Hemifacial spasm is a neurological condition that causes involuntary twitching or contractions of muscles on one side of the face. It often begins around one eye and may gradually involve other muscles on the same side of the face. In many cases, the facial nerve is affected by pressure from a nearby blood vessel.

The spasms may become more frequent over time and can interfere with vision, facial comfort, communication, or daily activities. A neurological evaluation can help confirm the diagnosis and assess the possible underlying cause.

Our Treatment Approach

At Snayu Neurocare, Dr. Garima Pandey provides individualized neurological evaluation and management for hemifacial spasm.

Assessment may include a review of symptoms, medical history, facial movements, and neurological findings. MRI or other imaging may be advised when clinically indicated, particularly when evaluating possible compression of the facial nerve.

Treatment may include appropriate medication or botulinum toxin injections to control involuntary muscle contractions. When surgical treatment is clinically and radiologically indicated, Dr. Nishant Kumar Shukla can provide specialist neurosurgical evaluation and surgical care, including consideration of microvascular decompression for suitable patients.

When Should You See a Neurologist?

You may benefit from neurological evaluation if you experience recurring or worsening twitching around one eye or on one side of the face, particularly when spasms begin affecting daily activities, vision, or facial function. Early evaluation can help confirm the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
