摘要：
Objective: To report a patient with hemifacial spasm (HFS) which improved with topiramate. Case Report: A 52-year-old woman diagnosed with migraine, who also had a right HFS, did experience a marked improvement of HFS after introduction of topiramate as prophylactic therapy for her migraine episodes. Topiramate withdrawal led to reappearance of HFS, which improved again after its reintroduction. Conclusions: Topiramate should be considered as a possible therapy for HFS.
