The present study was carried out on the effect of botulinum A toxin, made in Japan, in the management of 30 hemifacial spasm patients. In almost all cases, alleviation of hemifacial spasm reached its peak in a few days. Availability was 93.3% and its effect lasted about 4 months. Side effects were observed in 12 patients (40%), but no serious complications were observed.
