Financing Seminars SEARCH Home Hemifacial Spasm (Meige's Syndrome) Hemifacial spasms are characterized by chronic twitching or spasms of one side of the face. It affects muscles activated by the facial nerve. Hemifacial spasm can result from stimulation by a blood vessel lying too close to the nerve or may follow Bell's palsy (an inflammation of the facial nerve resulting in temporary facial weakness) due to incorrect regeneration of the facial nerve. In more severe cases, the spasms may cause the mouth to become clamped shut. This can make speaking, eating, and swallowing difficult. Meige's Syndrome is a similar disorder affecting the long facial muscles and neck muscles in addition to the muscles around the eyes. Are There Different Forms of Blepharospasm? Yes, blepharospasms are classified by their severity and the extent of the face that is affected. The basic classifications of blepharospasms are as follows: Eyelid twitches or Tics Benign Essential Blepharospasm (also called Essential Blepharospasm) Hemifacial spasms or Meige's Syndrome What is the Treatment for Hemifacial Spasms?

Meige Syndrome This article submitted by Suzye on 2/28/99. Email Address: suzye@gate.net I would like any information anyone has about blepharospasms and oromandibular spasms, Meige syndrome? I seem to be experiencing both. I've had Botox injections for the blepharospasms but now I am noticing more and more strange things occurring: holding my breath, breathing through my mouth, accidentally biting the inside of my lip and mouth while eating or even talking, "screwing up" (spasms) of my nose and lower facial muscles, clenching my teeth and jaws, having to talk myself through writing out a check or even this article. Can't read a newspaper or fine print very much. It goes on and on. I had a face lift and upper bleph in July 1997. What a fantastic change in my appearance - I work for the plastic surgeon - love him like a brother. But, I'm now wondering if the surgery didn't trigger some underlying condition that I may have had and no one knew. Has anyone else experienced anything like this after facial cosmetic surgery - is it a possible side effect? Any and all responses will be appreciated. I'm really getting depressed about this now. Thank you!

Blepharo means "eyelid". Spasm means "uncontrolled muscle contraction". The term blepharospasm ['blef-a-ro-spaz-m] can be applied to any abnormal blinking or eyelid tic or twitch resulting from any cause, ranging from dry eyes to Tourette's syndrome to tardive dyskinesia. The blepharospasm referred to here is officially called benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) to distinguish it from the less serious secondary blinking disorders. "Benign" indicates the condition is not life threatening, and "essential" is a medical term meaning "of unknown cause". It is both a cranial and a focal dystonia. Cranial refers to the head and focal indicates confinement to one part. The word dystonia describes abnormal involuntary sustained muscle contractions and spasms. Patients with blepharospasm have normal eyes. The visual disturbance is due solely to the forced closure of the eyelids.

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. Symptoms The symptoms of Meige Syndrome typically begin during late middle age and may include gradual functional impairment of the muscles of the eyelids (dyskinesia orbiculares oculi). Muscle spasms may cause excessive involuntary blinking (blepharospasm) or episodes of involuntary eyelid closure. In some people with Meige Syndrome, the muscles of the face are also affected, resulting in facial grimacing and uncontrollable squeezing movements of the facial muscles (facial dystonia). Other symptoms may include jaw grinding movements, repeated forceful opening of the jaw, and retraction of the lips into the mouth. Eyelid and facial muscle tone may gradually decline.

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. Symptoms Benign Essential Blepharospasm is characterized in the early stages by an unusually frequent or forceful blinking of the eyes, as well as occasional short episodes of involuntary eye closure. Over a period of years, these episodes increase in frequency and duration. Ultimately, the eyes may be closed 75 percent of the time.
