Delayed complete remission of hemifacial spasms following microvascular decompression and the implications for optimal time of revision surgery

ConclusionsA delayed complete remission of HFS could be expected in long-term follow-up after MVD and is probably related to a longer duration of HFS before surgery. Unnecessary reoperation should be avoided in the early years following the first surgery.
