Abstract

• Pathologic examination in a case of facial myokymia showed edema and mild astroglial proliferation of the ipsilateral seventh nerve nucleus; gliomatous tumor involvement occurred rostral to this nucleus. These findings give circumstantial support to functional deafferentation as the cause of facial myokymia.
