Hemifacial Spasm
Hemifacial spasm, also known as Hemifacial spasms or BFS, is a rare condition that affects the muscles of the face, specifically the muscles between the nose and mouth. It is characterized by involuntary contractions of these muscles, which can cause visible facial movements, such as blink, shut up and smile. The exact cause of hemifacial spasm is not well understood, but it is thought to be related to abnormalities in the brain's reward system. Symptoms typically worsen with age and can have a significant impact on an individual's quality of life. Treatment options are limited and typically involve management of symptoms with lifestyle modifications and medications to reduce muscle spasms.
