Description

In this case, a 55-year-old man presented with an uncontrollable spasm on the right side of his face. Sila Bal, MD, invites oculofacial surgeon Julie Woodward, MD, to explain how she would approach the examination of this patient, describing the questions she would ask to obtain a detailed family and medical history and determine if the condition is a hemifacial spasm, blepharospasm, or myokymia. She shares insights into distinguishing each condition and outlines diagnostic and treatment approaches.
