  • Title: Epidermoid tumor presenting as painful tic convulsif.
    Author: Wakabayashi T, Tamaki N, Satoh H, Matsumoto S.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1983 Mar; 19(3):244-6. PubMed ID: 6836475.
    Abstract:
    A 49-year-old man with an epidermoid tumor had a hemifacial spasm on the left and ipsilateral trigeminal neuralgia--i.e., painful tic convulsif. Computed tomography scanning after metrizamide enhancement clearly demonstrated a cerebellopontine angle tumor. In the year since complete removal of the epidermoid tumor, the patient has been relieved of the facial pain and the hemifacial spasm is improved with decreased frequency of the spasm.
