Abstract

Painful tic convulsif (PTC) is a term to describe the coexistence of trigeminal neuralgia and ipsilateral hemifacial spasm, and about four dozen cases have been reported in the literature. With respect to PTC caused by an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), to our knowledge, only two cases have been documented and their angiographic findings were not described. We present here the rare case of PTC attributed to an AVM in the cerebellopontine angle (CPA) and review the relevant literature.
