Extractions: It is possible that the main title of the report Meige Syndrome is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report. Meige Syndrome is a rare neurological movement disorder (dyskinesia) characterized by spasms of the muscles of the eyelids and associated loss of tone in these eyelid muscles. Symptoms may include excessive blinking (blepharospasm) or involuntary eyelid closure. On occasion, the muscles of the face may also be involved. The exact cause of Meige Syndrome is not known. This disorder generally affects people during late middle age. Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation, Inc.

Involuntary movements of the face, tongue, palate, pharynx, vocal cords and neck are grouped into the broad classification of cranial-cervical dyskinesias (Table 1).(1) In many dyskinesias, there is evidence of pathology in the basal ganglia or the midbrain. Areas of the basal ganglia involved in orofacial control may be particularly susceptible to the aging process and to the effects of neuroleptic drugs, since the development of many cranial-cervical dyskinesias appears to relate to advancing age or drug or other toxin exposure. Dystonic movement disorders are characterized by muscle tone abnormalities, often manifested as increased muscle tone or muscle spasms. Meige syndrome is characterized by buccolingual, lower facial and eyelid spasms. The eyelid spasm alone is referred to as essential blepharospasm. Hemifacial spasm is pathophysiologically unrelated to the dystonias and is best classified under the broad heading of myoclonus.

Holds George L. White, Jr. Steven M. Thiese Richard L. Anderson Botulinum A Toxin. The A toxin serotype produced by Clostridium botulinum is a potent paralytic drug. Since the initial report in 1984, (7)botulinum A toxin has been used extensively in the treatment of the cranial-cervical dystonias, especially essential blepharospasm and the blepharospasm component of Meige syndrome. In early 1990, botulinum A toxin was approved by the U. S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the treatment of strabismus, essential blepharospasm and other disorders of facial nerve function in patients over 12 years of age. Subcutaneous injection of botulinum A toxin into the eyelids and eyebrows relieves spasm for an average of three months in 85 to 90 percent of patients. The efficacy of botulinum injection and the low risk of side effects have made botulinum A toxin the preferred therapy for disabling benign essential blepharospasm. Spasmodic torticollis has also been treated effectively with injections into the involved neck muscles.(8)
