A member asked:
If someone develops hemifacial spasm in mouth and cheek, does it always spread up to eye or can it just remain in the lips?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It can remain: Hemifacial spasm, depending on the cause and in particular the location of the nerve irritation, can affect any part of the face. It does not have to spread to the eye.
