Abstract
The authors describe the case of a 53-year-old woman who suffered from a hemifacial spasm caused by a venous angioma in the posterior fossa. At operation the parenchymal segment of the angioma was preserved and vascular decompression was performed by placing pieces of shredded Teflon between the vessel and nerve. After decompression the patient was completely free from spasm.
