There are intermittent and involuntary contractions or spasms of the muscles around the eyes. Although the eyes themselves are unaffected, the patient may eventually become functionally blind because of an inability to open the eyelids. Benign Essential Blepharospasm is a form of dystonia, which is a group of neuromuscular disorders characterized by muscle spasms.

Home Meetings 2005 Annual Meeting Register for Meeting ... Weakness Blepharospasm What is Blepharospasm? Blepharospasm is a type of focal dystonia in which there is involuntary contraction of the muscles of the eyelids causing closure of the lids. This does not have any effect on a person's vision or mental faculties. The only time vision would be affected is if the contractions become so extreme that they force the eyelids closed. Symptoms include frequent blinking and irritation of the eye. Dry eye has also been noted to be present with blepharospasm. Other involuntary movements can occur in addition to blepharospasm such as forceful opening of the jaw, retraction of the lips, or protrusion of the tongue. The cause is unknown, though patients should be evaluated for diseases that may also have blepharospasm as a symptom. Although the cause of blepharospasm is unknown, it is possibly due to abnormal function of the basal ganglia of the brain. The job of the basal ganglia is to help with the start and continuation of movement. What is unknown about this is what makes the basal ganglia function incorrectly. Who Gets Blepharospasm?

Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Blepharospasm Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: Blepharospasm is the repetitive contraction of eyelid muscles in a rhythmic fashion. In some instances, the eyelid may repeatedly close or attempt to close. Alternative Names: Eye twitch; Eye spasm Causes, incidence, and risk factors: The most common causes of muscle twitching in the eyelid are fatigue stress , and caffeine. Once the spasms begin, they may continue intermittently for a day to more than a week, then disappear. Most people experience this type of eyelid twitch on occasion and find it extremely annoying. It usually stops suddenly, without even noticing it. More severe contractions with closure of the eyelid are thought to be caused by irritation of the surface of the eye (cornea), or the membranes lining the eyelids (conjunctival irritation). This type of eyelid twitching is common, especially in certain seasons. Another form of blepharospasm, lasts much longer, is very uncomfortable, and can close the eyelids completely.

From The Cochrane Library, Issue 2, 2005 Botulinum toxin type A therapy for blepharospasm (Cochrane Review) Costa J, Espírito-Santo C, Borges A, Ferreira JJ, Coelho M, Moore P, Sampaio C ABSTRACT What's new in this issue Search abstracts Browse alphabetical list of titles Browse by Review Group A substantive amendment to this systematic review was last made on 25 December 2003. Cochrane reviews are regularly checked and updated if necessary. Background: Blepharospasm is a focal dystonia characterized by chronic intermittent or persistent involuntary eyelid closure due to spasmodic contractions of the orbicularis oculi muscles. Other facial and neck muscles are also frequently involved. Most cases are idiopathic and blepharospasm is generally a life-long disorder. Its severity can range from repeated frequent blinking to persistent forceful closure of the eyelids with functional blindness. Botulinum toxin type A (BtA) is the current first line therapy. Objectives: To determine whether botulinum toxin (BtA) is an effective and safe treatment for blepharospasm. Search strategy: We identified studies for inclusion in the review using the Cochrane Movement Disorders Group trials register, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), MEDLINE, EMBASE, handsearches of the Movement Disorders Journal and abstracts of international congresses on movement disorders and botulinum toxin, communication with other researchers in the field, reference lists of papers found using above search strategies, and contact with authors and drug manufacturers.

The Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews 2005 Issue 3 Botulinum toxin type A therapy for blepharospasm Costa J, Espírito-Santo C, Borges A, Ferreira JJ, Coelho M, Moore P, Sampaio C Plain language summary Botulinum toxin type A local injection therapy for blepharospasm or involuntary eyelid closure Blepharospasm is a dysfunction of the eyelids showing as involuntary eyelid closure due to spasmodic contractions of eye muscles. Other facial and neck muscles are also frequently involved. It often begins late in life with the severity ranging from repeated frequent blinking of both eyelids to persistent forceful closure and functional blindness. Treatment has included surgery, psychological approaches, biofeedback and drugs. Botulinum toxin type A (BtA) is the current treatment. No randomised controlled trials with sufficient numbers of patients fitted the review criteria. Trials identified found BtA to be superior to placebo as did large case-control and cohort studies, with around 90% of patients benefiting. The most common adverse effects affected the eyes and were short lived.
