Shakuyakukanzoto is effective for recurrence hemifacial spasm after microvascular decompression: A case report

Abstract

Microvascular decompression (MVD) is widely accepted as a radical treatment for hemifacial spasm. However, in rare cases, hemifacial spasm may recur after successful MCD surgery. We report a case in which shakuyakukanzoto was effective for recurrence of hemifacial spasm 6 years after MVD.
