Foru you information hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a neuromuscular disorder associated with a paroxysmal, (involuntary) twitching of facial muscles on one side of the face innervated by the corresponding facial nerve. It is considered a subtype of peripheral (neuromuscular) movement disorder and to some extend facial paralysis especially when other symptoms started to appear, such as muscle dystonia or paralysis.
