Abstract

A 30-year-old male with Albright''s hereditary osteodystrophy, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, and nephrogenic diabetes insipidus presented with hemifacial spasm persisting for 2 years. This association is extremely unusual. Angiography revealed markedly tortuous carotid and vertebral arteries inconsistent with his age. Neurovascular decompression of the left vertebral artery achieved only partial resolution of the spasm.
