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. 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.
Extractions: Orofacial dyskinesia (Meige's syndrome) is a rare clinical entity. This disorder was first described in 1910 by Henry Meige as "spasm facial median," a disabling spasm of the facial musculature which had frequently been misdiagnosed and inappropriately treated. This report concerns a patient who presented with tonic hemifacial spasm twenty-two years after contracting Bell's palsy. The condition was initially thought to be secondary to faulty regeneration of the facial nerve until Meige's syndrome became fully manifested over a period of two years. The diagnostic characteristics as well as the forms of treatment for this unusual disorder are presented. (C) 1984, The American Journal of Otology, Inc.

Extractions: OBJECTIVE AND IMPORTANCE: We report the intraoperative results, subsequent course, and 1-year follow-up evaluation of a patient with medication-refractory craniofacial dystonia for whom we planned bilateral globus pallidus internus (GPi) deep brain stimulation (DBS) implantation but delayed the left GPi DBS implantation because of robust intraoperative effects of right GPi DBS. CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old patient had a 5-year history of progressively severe, bilateral craniofacial dystonia with blepharospasm (Meige's syndrome) that was refractory to medications and to botulinum toxin (A and B) injections. Blepharospasm interfered with his ability to perform his duties as a Special Forces soldier and ended his military career. INTERVENTION: Under stereotactic guidance (magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomographic image fusion, Cosman-Roberts-Wells frame, and University of Florida surgical navigation software) and with detailed microelectrode mapping (four microelectrode passes), a DBS electrode was implanted in the right posteroventral GPi. Microelectrode recordings were taken to document electrophysiological activity of neurons in the region, and intraoperative macrostimulation was performed. The patient was followed up for 6 months with right unilateral GPi DBS, and later a left GPi DBS electrode was placed.
Extractions: Before the development of sustained closure of the eyelids, about a third of the patients report increased frequency of blinking, suggesting that blepharospasm may be due to impairment of mechanisms associated with normal blinking. The increased blinking that precedes blepharospasm is commonly associated with a feeling of irritation in the eyes. It is usually progresses to clonic and later tonic (sustained) contractions of the orbicularis oculi (facial muscles surrounding the eyes) leading to forceful closure of eyelids. Up to 20% of patients have involvement of one eye initially but the opposite eye becomes involved later in all patients.

Article Outline We report the case of a 68-year-old woman with progressive supranuclear palsy whose depression was successfully treated with electroconvulsive therapy. She tolerated the treatments well and showed neither improvement nor decline in the neurologic symptoms of her illness. Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is the most rapid and effective method of treating major depression, and is safe and effective in treating depression in the context of many comorbid medical illnesses, including neurologic diseases resulting in movement disorders.

Dystonia Defined It is almost always present in both eyes. Blepharospasm can occur with dystonia affecting 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.

Extractions: Voice/Swallowing Disorders Diseases of the Larynx Singers and Singing Vocal Nodules and Polyps ... Contact Classification of Laryngeal Dystonias Jamie Koufman, MD, and P. David Blalock, MA At The Center For Voice Disorders of Wake Forest University, one hundred consecutive patients with "spasmodic dysphonia" were systematically evaluated and classified by criteria described below. The classification herein presented at first appears complex; however, in clinical practice, it appears to be a useful system in diagnosis, in predicting the response to Botox treatment, and in customizing the treatment for each SD subtype. Materials and Methods All patients underwent otolaryngologic examination and videoendoscopic assessment of laryngeal function by an otolaryngologist, evaluation by a speech pathologist specifically trained in the diagnosis and management of voice disorders, voice laboratory evaluation, screening neurological examination, and laryngeal electromyography (EMG). The otolaryngologic evaluation comprised: 1) a detailed medical history, including completion of a standardized laryngeal movement disorders data flow sheet; 2) a complete otolaryngologic examination; 3) transnasal fiberoptic laryngoscopy (TFL) with videostroboscopy using a standardized format that included asking the patient to perform the following vocal tasks twice, once using a normal glottal attack and once using a soft breathy voice. The tasks were for the patient to state his or her name, the date, the vowels /i/ and /a/, and a standard phrase, "the cake is great, and the rainbow is beautiful."
