Article Excerpts About Symptoms of Hemifacial Spasm:

The first symptom is usually an intermittent twitching of the eyelid muscle which can lead to forced closure of the eye. The spasm may then gradually spread to involve the muscles of the lower face, which may cause the mouth to be pulled to one side. Eventually the spasms involve all of the muscles on one side of the face almost continuously. (Source: excerpt from NINDS Hemifacial Spasm Information Page: NINDS)
