[Abstract] Objective: Using magnetic resonance imaging technique to explore the change of brain function and structure in patients with hemifacial spasm (HFS).Materials and Methods: This paper combined resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) and voxel-based morphometry (VBM) to investigate the spontaneous brain activity and structural differences between the 33 patients with HFS and the 33 healthy controls of gender matching. And the MRI data were analyzed by SPSS, SPM12 and Matlab. Two-sample t-tests were used to determine between-group differences and thresholds at P<0.005 (voxel level), and FWE were corrected to P<0.05 at the cluster level. The surviving clusters >30 were reported.Results: Compared to the controls, the patients with HFS exhibited significantly decreased regional homogeneity (ReHo) value in the cerebellum lobule Ⅵ, and decreased gray matter volume in the cerebellum lobule Ⅵ too.Conclusions: Our results showed that patients with HFS exhibited function and structure alteration in the cerebellum lobule Ⅵ, which would play an important role in pathology of HFS.
