True facial spasm is reflex act
occurring In . single muscle or .
group OF muscles, and Is thought to
b due to some form Of irritation in
tho muscles or the nerves Of the
spinal or bulbar arc. Tics, on the
other hand. are voluntary contrac.
tons which have become q habit.
Tn facial spasm, the spasm Is con.
lined to the mechanism OF the motor
innervation Of the face, and is devoid
OF voluntary or involuntary control:
whereas in tics, the movements are
always more or less under the con.
troll Of the will, and subject to invol.
untary control under viodent excite.
ment or emotion.
The spasm Of the true facial type
Is never natural movement. and
cannot be initiated either by the pa
tient or by a second person. In tics.
the movement however exaggerated,
is natural one and can be initiated.
"A facial spasm at the outset may
be confined to only q part Of mus
Gle. Later it takes the entire dis
tribution Of the facial nerve and no
more, and Is practically always uni.
lateral.
Tics never involve only a part Of
a muscle, and rarely involve all the
facial muscles At any given time, but
take associated groups Of muscles.
