  • Title: Hemifacial spasm caused by contralateral cerebellopontine angle meningioma: case report.
    Author: Rhee BA, Kim TS, Kim GK, Leem WL.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1995 Feb; 36(2):393-5. PubMed ID: 7731520.
    Abstract:
    A large meningioma in the cerebellopontine angle manifested itself as a contralateral hemifacial spasm. On computed tomographic and magnetic resonance imaging scans, the brain stem was markedly displaced and distorted by the tumor. After total removal of the meningioma, the hemifacial spasm completely disappeared.
