title: [Delayed cerebrovascular accident following microvascular decompression of hemifacial spasm].
abstract: Two cases of hemifacial spasm received microvascular decompression. Both of them had histories of hypertension and coronary insufficiency. The two cases died on the 12th postoperative day because of cerebrovascular accident. We think that the death was associated with the poor facilities, insufficient skills and lack of close supervision. Also, frequent visits by the families and early activities of the patients may contribute to the accident.
