Homovanillic acid. Homovanillic acid (HVA) is a major catecholamine metabolite that is produced by a consecutive action of monoamine oxidase and catechol-O-methyltransferase on dopamine.[1] Homovanillic acid is used as a reagent to detect oxidative enzymes, and is associated with dopamine levels in the brain. In psychiatry and neuroscience, brain and cerebrospinal fluid levels of HVA are measured as a marker of metabolic stress caused by 2-deoxy-D-glucose. HVA presence supports a diagnosis of neuroblastoma and malignant pheochromocytoma.
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a neurological disorder in which muscles of one side of the face intermittently involuntarily contract, causing uncontrollable contortion of the face. HFS typically begins in the muscle surrounding the eye and can spread to involve other muscles on the same side of the face.FS is caused by hyperactivity of cranial nerve VII, aka the facial nerve, which originates in the brainstem and controls muscles of facial expression. The most common cause of HFS is irritation of the facial nerve from compression by an adjacent artery or vein.
