Resumo: BACKGROUND: The association of hemifacial spasm (HFS), Chiari type I malformation (CIM) and neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) has not been described yet. CASE REPORT: We report the case of a 31-year-old woman with NF1 who developed a right-sided HFS. On magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) a CIM was seen without syringomyelia. The patient has been successfully treated with botulinum toxin type A injections for 5 years without major side effects. CONCLUSION:Clinical features of HFS, CMI and NF1 are highlighted together with their possible relationship. Also, therapeutic strategies are also discussed.

RELATO DO CASO: Relatamos o caso de mulher com 31 anos com NFI que desenvolveu EHF à direita. Na ressonância magnética (RM) foi observada MCI sem seringomielia associada. A paciente foi tratada com sucesso com toxina botulínica tipo A por 5 anos sem efeitos colaterais. CONCLUSÃO: Ressaltamos as características clínicas do EHF, MCI e NFI assim como uma possível relação entre elas. Além disto, discutimos também estratégias terapêuticas.Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP) Escola Paulista de Medicina Department of NeurologyUNIFESP, EPM, Department of NeurologySciELOAcademia Brasileira de Neurologia - ABNEUROUniversidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)Felício, André Carvalho [UNIFESP]Godeiro-Junior, Clecio de Oliveira [UNIFESP]Borges, Vanderci [UNIFESP]Silva, Sonia Maria de Azevedo [UNIFESP]Ferraz, Henrique Ballalai [UNIFESP]2015-06-14T13:37:04Z2015-06-14T13:37:04Z2007-09-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion855-857application/pdfhttp://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0004-282X2007000500026Arquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria.
