looks like TICS to me. am i right?

Partial Epileptic Fit

Hello! When he blinks his eyes and turn his eyes to the left, a part of his right cheek and left corner of lower lip is lifted, right?

Tics confined to trigeminal nerve

Focal tic

oculgyric crisis

Fasciculation.

it is fasciculation because it is brief and spontaneous

hemi facial spasm..most commonly due to compression of facial nerve by ant.inf.cerebellar artery at the level of brain stem.,the compression misfires the facial nerve leading to facial muscle contraction.

Fasciculation
