Meige's Syndrome meige's syndrome is a form of dystonia in which there is blinking and chin thrusting. The condition and its treatment are described by George W. Paulson, M.D. http://www.blepharospasm.org/blephar7.html#A1
Extractions: Columbus, Ohio Web page created on December 13, 1997 Henri Meige described in 1904 what is now commonly called oral facial dystonia. There is some variation in what has been described since in what has been called Meige's syndrome, but in all descriptions there is blinking and chin thrusting. Some patients have lip pursing or tongue movements and, for a few, the movements spread into the shoulders. The cause remains obscure, treatment less than ideal, and frustration is a major factor as it is with blepharospasm. Many physicians, even regarding the more common essential blepharospasm, may have had no experience with Meige's syndrome and the patient may be told the process is psychologic. It is not. There are some similar conditions related to medication effects, for example, the mouth movement seen when excessive levodopa is present in patients with Parkinson's disease. Tardive dyskinesia, the movements that can follow prolonged use of major tranquilizers, can be associated with mouth and tongue movements. Some normal, elderly individuals develop spontaneous mouthing or chewing movements. Meige is more than and different from any of these other mouth movements. Blinking forcefully is often a part of it as is grimacing and the chin thrusting forward. At times there is a joint interactive movement between the oral movements and the eye movements. The patients are more likely to be women than men and usually at middle age or beyond. There is, as in all neurologic conditions, some variation with stress, but the movement is present at rest and with activity and when with others or alone. As with almost all movement disorders, it disappears in sleep.
Meige's Syndrome II (www.whonamedit.com) meige's syndrome II A disabling spasm of the facial musculature consisting of primaryblepharospasm followed by abnormal facial movement. meige's syndrome II http://www.whonamedit.com/synd.cfm/547.html
Extractions: The term Meige's syndrome II/Brueghel's syndrome is used for blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia occurring together. It is a disabling spasm of the facial musculature consisting of primary blepharospasm followed by abnormal facial movement. Squinting may begin unilaterally but soon becomes bilateral. In time, the lower facial muscles becomes involved with yawning, jaw opening, and abnormal tongue movements. The voice is often affected as well. The involuntary movements cease during sleep. The condition may be aggravated by eating or talking and is sometimes lessened by humming, singing, yawning or voluntary opening of the mouth. One of the earliest suspected documentations of blepharospasm is a painting - De Gaper - by the Flemish artist Brueghel (1525-1569), who painted a woman with apparent blepharospasm with facial and neck involvement. The term "Brueghel syndrome" is used when extensive mandibular involvement is a major component of the disease.
Meige's Syndrome meige's syndrome. Also known as primary cranial dystonia. Spasm facialmedian first reported in 1910 by French neurologist Henry http://uscneurosurgery.com/glossary/m/meiges syndrome.htm
Extractions: Meige's syndrome Also known as: primary cranial dystonia. "Spasm facial median" first reported in 1910 by French neurologist Henry Meige is a disorder of bilateral (both sides of face affected) symmetric dystonic spasm of the facial muscles. Also called "orofacial dystonia". Equally common in men and women. Can affect any age. Movements are not under voluntary control. Spasm not present during sleep. Characterized by writhing movements that affect the tongue and breathing. Can be associated with use of certain drugs or with disease of the basal ganglia. On electrophysiologic testing the blink reflex is normal as is electromyography (EMG). Rare. Frequently misdiagnosed and treated inappropriately. Treatments can include: Injection of botulinum toxin ("botox"). Clozapine. Dystonia (compare: hemifacial spasm Return to uscneurosurgery.com Homepage
Dystonia Defined It is almost always present in both eyes. Blepharospasm can occur with dystoniaaffecting the mouth and/or jaw (oromandibular dystonia, meige's syndrome). http://www.dystonia-support.org/dystonia defined.htm
Extractions: DYSTONIA DEFINED Dystonia is a neurological movement disorder characterized by involuntary muscle contractions, which force certain parts of the body into abnormal, sometime painful, movements or postures. Dystonia can affect any part of the body including the arms and legs, trunk, neck, eyelids, face, or vocal cords. It is the third most common movement disorder after Parkinson's Disease and Tremor, affecting more than 300,000 people in North America. Dystonia does not discriminate - affecting all races and ethnic groups. NOTE: For more details on all types of dystonia, causes, treatments, research information, please visit the Dystonia Medical Research Foundation's Website http://www.dystonia-foundation.org/ BLEPHAROSPASM (BEB) More BEB Information Websites Blepharospasm is a focal dystonia characterized by increased blinking and involuntary closing of the eyes. People with blepharospasm have normal vision. Visual disturbance is due solely to the forced closure of the eyelids. Blepharospasm affects the eye muscles and usually begins gradually with excessive blinking and/or eye irritation. In the early stages it may only occur with specific precipitating stressors, such as bright lights, fatigue, and emotional tension. It is almost always present in both eyes. Blepharospasm can occur with dystonia affecting the mouth and/or jaw (oromandibular dystonia, Meige's syndrome). In such cases, spasms of the eyelids are accompanied by jaw clenching or mouth opening, grimacing, and tongue protrusion. For causes, treatments, research information, etc.
She Heard The Lord Speaking Clearly Hope Imoroa in the Diocese of Warri suffers from meige's syndrome, a rare disorderthat causes spasm of the eyelid and facial nerves so that the eyes are http://www.episcopalchurch.org/episcopal-life/EyeDoc.html
Extractions: The trip from the U.S. to Warri, Nigeria, is arduous and far from cheap. There would be no payment for the expertise or the time spent, and it would require two weeks. The office of Anglican and global relations wasn't even offering to foot the entire bill for the airfare, only $1,000. Its director, the Rev. Canon Patrick Mauney, needed either a well-heeled or well-funded volunteer if he wanted to fulfill a promise made during the presiding bishop's visit in January. The Rev. Hope Imoroa in the Diocese of Warri suffers from Meige's syndrome, a rare disorder that causes spasm of the eyelid and facial nerves so that the eyes are constantly shut tight. Imoroa is functionally blind. There is a treatment and it involves a risky, delicate operation and one of the most expensive drugs in the world: Botox (botulinum toxin), the drug so loved by wealthy Hollywood stay-youngs. The procedure requires specialized expertise because, unlike the injections given by neurologists and dermatologists to combat wrinkles, the area of the eyelid is more fragile. The lids need to be paralyzed, but only partially, by injecting the drug into different areas. There is risk of piercing the eyeball and if the drug is placed even a few millimeters away from the target, the lid could be paralyzed shut. No more than a few dozen neurologists or ophthalmologists in the United States have extensive experience with the procedure. Most see no more than one patient with Meige's syndrome in their lifetimes. Not one doctor in Nigeria has experience with the procedure.
Doctor Treats 'virtual Blindness' With Botulism Drug Mauney, director of the Anglican and Global Relations Office of the Episcopal Church,wanted to find a doctor who could treat a priest with meige's syndrome. http://www.episcopalchurch.org/episcopal-life/EyeOpen.html
Extractions: Last spring, deSilva responded to a plea in this newspaper. The Rev. Patrick Mauney, director of the Anglican and Global Relations Office of the Episcopal Church, wanted to find a doctor who could treat a priest with Meige's Syndrome. He and Presiding Bishop Frank T. Griswold had learned of the priest and the "virtual blindness" the ailment caused during their visit to Nigeria in January. They promised to help. Mauney needed someone who could administer the rather risky treatment Botox injections into the eyelid and teach the priest's own doctors the technique. In the weeks before she left, deSilva, 45, paid up her life and disability insurance, purchased travel and Medivac policies, arranged her papers and updated her will. She worried both silently and aloud about being "defrauded, possibly abducted." She shopped for clothing that would be sufficiently modest. "Frump clothes," she called them. She wrote to friends: "My mother thinks I'm nuts, and my sister wonders openly if I might be entering early menopause."
