  • Title: Hemifacial spasm, glossodynia, and dolichoectasia of the basilar artery.
    Author: Chakravarty A.
    Journal: J Stroke Cerebrovasc Dis; 2012 Jan; 21(1):78-81. PubMed ID: 20833080.
    Abstract:
    The case of a 77-year-old hypertensive man presenting with hemifacial spasm and glossodynia is reported. Imaging studies revealed gross dolichoectasia of the vertebrobasilar arterial system with pontine compression. It is suggested that the neurologic symptoms most likely resulted from pontine compression, rather than from any compression of the cranial nerves.
