Hemifacial spasm in tuberculous meningitis.

R Sandyk.   

Abstract

Hemifacial spasm developed in a 47-year-old man with tuberculous meningitis. The spasms ceased completely following vigorous antituberculous treatment. A selective compression of the facial nerve root along its exit at the brainstem by a localised inflammatory process is the most tenable explanation for the development of the hemifacial spasm.
