You've spent minutes on Ophthalmic Hyperguide Blepharospasm and Facial Spasm Dan Boghen, MD, FRCP(C) Introduction Blepharospasm Facial Spasm References Introduction The two most common conditions that are characterized by involuntary movements of the face are blepharospasm and facial spasm (hemifacial spasm). Blepharospasm Essential blepharospasm is a chronic disorder characterized by an involuntary clonic (repetitive) or tonic (sustained) bilateral closure of the eyelids. Long believed to be of functional origin, blepharospasm is now considered to be a cranial dystonia. When the involuntary contractions also affect other cranial and cervical muscles, as is the case in the majority of patients, the disorder is known as the Meige syndrome, or craniocervical dystonia. The muscles that may be involved in Meige syndrome include those of the face, mandibular region, pharynx, and larynx. In a case, all or only some of these muscles may be involved. The different muscle groups can also be involved in isolation, as in oromandibular dystonia, spasmodic dysphonia, and cervical dystonia. The prevalence of the syndrome is five to 10 cases per 100,000 people.

You've spent minutes on Ophthalmic Hyperguide Brow and Lash Abnormalities Thomas J. Joly, MD, PhD Mark R. Levine,MD Introduction Disturbances of Growth Anomalies of Direction Anomalies of Pigmentation ... References Introduction Duke-Elder's classic ophthalmology textbook classifies brow and lash abnormalities into three main categories Disturbances of growth, including hypertrichosis and hypotrichosis Anomalies of direction Anomalies of pigmentation This tutorial will discuss the major clinical entities within each of these categories. Disturbances of Growth Hypertrichosis, abnormal increase in the number (polytrichosis) or length (trichomegaly) of hairs, can affect the lashes, brows, or lanugo hair of the lids (Slide 1) . Ciliary polytrichosis is an acquired hypertrichosis in which irregularly arranged new lashes sprout as side-buds from preexisting cilia. These lashes are typically stunted, misdirected, and irregularly spaced within the normal rows of cilia. They are thought to arise in reaction to an inflammatory stimulus. The etiology of acquired hypertrichosis lanuginosa, abnormal increase in the fine lanugo hair, is unclear but the condition has been associated with serious illness, internal malignancies, and endocrine disorders. The disorder affects the lids and nose primarily, but can be generalized to the entire body. It can rarely be seen as a familial, congenital trait.

go to: Top of Section Information for Patients Classification of Dystonia Anatomical Distribution Segmental Dystonia As many as 30 percent of patients with a primary focal dystonia experience dystonic spasms in areas next to the primary site. When dystonia affects two areas of the body that are next to each other, this is termed segmental dystonia. Dystonic spasms affect at least 2 adjacent areas of the body, such as facial and neck muscles ; muscle groups of the neck and upper arm; or trunk and leg muscles. One common segmental dystonia involves muscles of the eyelids, jaw, mouth, and lower face. Known as Meige syndrome, the condition is characterized by periodic or sustained closure of the eyelids (blepharospasm). Eyelid closure is accompanied by forceful spasms of jaw opening or closure, clenching or grinding of the teeth, sideways displacement of the jaw, lip tightening and pursing, and tongue protrusion . In addition, this form of segmental dystonia may spread to neck muscles or other muscle groups. Meige syndrome more frequently affects women than men and typically becomes apparent during the sixth decade of life.

Bandolier Bandolier Library search Cannabis for spasticity and multiple sclerosis Clinical bottom line There is only limited evidence mainly from anecdotal reports that cannabis (smoked or oral) benefits spasticity from multiple sclerosis or spinal cord injury. Some randomised N of 1 studies support this. The weight of evidence is not great, and more recent, though small, randomised trials show absolutely no effect, with some adverse effects. Cannabis is commonly thought to be beneficial to patients with multiple sclerosis, especially those with spasticity. There are no modern randomised double-blind trials of any size, though there is one currently ongoing, whose design and objectives can be seen on the Internet. The single largest study to investigate the efficacy of cannabis in multiple sclerosis recruited its 667th and last patient on October 10 2002. The first 15 weeks of treatment will be completed in February 2003 and results of the trial are hope to be announced in the summer of 2003. The trial It will recruit 660 patients with multiple sclerosis from across the UK who have significant spasticity in some of their leg muscles. Each patient will be randomly allocated to one of three treatments: cannabis oil, tetrahydrocannabinol (a constituent of cannabis) or placebo capsules (containing only vegetable oil).

Dystonia South Shore Neurologic Associates Movement Disorder Section has extensive experience in the diagnosis and management of dystonia and other unusual movement disorders including torticollis, blepharospasm, and meige syndrome. BOTOX Therapy From the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation (DMRF): Spasmodic torticollis, also known as cervical dystonia, is a focal dystonia in which neck muscles contract involuntarily, giving rise to abnormal movements and posture of the head and neck. This term is generally to describe spasms in any direction: forward (anterocollis), backwards (retrocollis), and sideways (torticollis). The movements may be sustained or jerky. Spasms in the muscles or pinching nerves in the neck can give rise to devastating pain. Spasmodic Torticollis should not be confused with other conditions giving rise to a twisted neck: local orthopedic or congenital problems of the neck, ophthalmologic conditions where the head tilts to compensate for double vision. Torticollis is due to abnormal functioning of the basal ganglia. In spasmodic torticollis, the motor program for neck movement is at fault, and the neck muscles contract involuntary in various combinations. Sustained contractions give rise to abnormal posture of the head and neck, while periodic spasms produce jerky head movements. The severity may vary from mild to severe. What goes wrong in the basal ganglia is still unknown.

During the 16th century, patients were institutionalized in insane asylums Little progress was made in understanding and treating blepharospasm until the mid-1900's. In 1907, Meige described a similar patient with dystonia which is now termed Meige syndrome. In 1956, Henderson wrote a classic article on Blepharopspasm describing the disability and treatments. can occur with specific precipitating stressors, such as bright lights, fatigue, and emotional tension; as the course continues, it occurs more frequently during the day and it may intensify so that when the spasms occur the eyelids may remain forcefully closed for short periods of time. Of note, the spasms disappear sleep and often by concentrating on a specific task. Possible origins include: basal ganglia, psychosomatic
