ABSTRACT
-A rare case of hemifacial spasm due to an ipsilateral foramen magnum/clival meningioma is described. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated that the tumor was located distant to the cranial nerve VII/VIII complex. Resolution of the ipsilateral hemifacial spasm was noted after complete resection of the tumor. The mechanism of hemifacial spasm was likely due to displacement and distortion of the brain stem from the lesion distant to the cranial nerve VII/VIII complex. In our review of the literature this is the first reported case of an ipsilateral posterior fossa meningioma causing hemifacial spasm from indirect mass effect.
