摘要：
Objective: Safety and efficacy of levetiracetam in a man with hemifacial spasm (HFS). Methods and Results: The present work reports the case of a 54-year-old man with a 5-year history of left-sided HFS who, after treatment with levetiracetam (dosage, 500 mg bid), showed a marked improvement in condition. After 7 months of therapy with levetiracetam, the patient remains symptom free with no adverse drug reactions. Conclusions: Levetiracetam proved its effectiveness and safety in the treatment of a case of HFS. Nevertheless, there is a need for further controlled studies with larger samples.
