Abstract

Two patients are presented whose sole symptom was hemifacial spasm. Cerebellar arachnoid cyst was diagnosed in one patient who was treated effectively by removal of the cyst and decompression of the facial nerve. The second patient had an AVM of the posterior fossa. Surgery was withheld in this case.
