Hemifacial spasm (HFS) while not a life-threatening condition, still causes significant facial disfigurement and consequently decreases patient’s quality of life (QoL). A retrospective study was conducted at the Neurosurgery Department of Viet Duc University Hospital with 36 patients with HFS who underwent MVD. The clinical data of these patients were collected prospectively and consecutively from June 2023 to June 2024. The validated, questionnaire (EQ-5D-5L, EQ-VAS, PHQ-9, Jankovic Rating Scale) was used to evaluate the QoL in patients with HFS after MVD.
