Background and purpose: The purpose of this article is to assess the validity of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) CISS 3D sequence associated with 3D time of flight (TOF) angiographic sequence in order to detect neurovascular contact (NVC) between the facial nerve and neighbouring arteries in patients with essential hemifacial spasm (HFS) and to determine the relationship between HFS symptoms and NVC and NVC image features (type, number and site). Materials and methods: We prospectively enrolled 120 cerebellopontine angle (CPA) MRI studies, 44 cases with HFS symptoms and 76 which were asymptomatic (controls), using axial T2-weighted (CISS) and axial 3D TOF series with associated Maximal intensity (MIP) reconstructions. Prior TOF angiogr...
