Vascular factors: Compression of the facial nerve by a single venous blood vessel can also lead to hemifacial spasm (HFS), and these blood vessels can simultaneously compress the facial nerve, which to some extent affects the prognosis of HFS surgery.
Non-vascular factors: Non-vascular space-occupying lesions in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA), such as granulomas, tumors, and cysts, can also cause HFS.
Other factors: Compression factors in the area where the facial nerve exits the brainstem are the main cause of HFS.
Genetic factors: In addition, HFS can also be seen in some systemic diseases such as multiple sclerosis. Familial HFS has only been reported in a few cases, and its mechanism is still unclear, but it is speculated to be related to genetics.
