[Abstract] Hemifacial spasm is a movement disorder characterized by involuntary contraction of unilateral facial muscles, usually starting with the orbicularis oculi muscle and progressing to the whole face. The vascular compression on the root exit zone of facial nerve is the most common cause of primary HFS. And the pathophysiological mechanism of the HFS may be the hyper excitability of the motor nucleus caused by the compression of the facial nerve, so it is particularly important to recognize the position between the facial nerve and offending vessels. Many new magnetic resonance imaging techniques have been applied to the identification and diagnosis of hemifacial spasm recently. The latest progresses in the field of magnetic resonance morphological imaging, resting-state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI), the voxel-based morphometry (VBM) and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) were reviewed in this article.
