Case description

This is a typical case of right hemifacial spasm due to compression of both the root exit zone of the facial nerve and a distortion of its cisternal segment into the CPA. The video describes the approach, the technique of decompression and the use of endoscopes to help clear visualization of the compression and the result of the decompression.
