| Description |
We present a rare case of a patient diagnosed with a high-grade glial mass, manifesting with isolated hemifacial spasms (HFS) and eyelid myokymia. While eyelid myokymia is typically considered benign, our case underscores its potential progression into facial myokymia and HFS, indicative of underlying pathological processes. |
