Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to a hemicacial spasm. Hemifacial spasm is a nervous system disorder in which the muscles on one side of your face twitch involuntarily. Hemifacial spasm can be caused:
- By a blood vessel touching a facial nerve
- By by facial nerve injury
- A tumor
It should be evaluated by a neurologist for further evaluation.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
