Meige Syndrome 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?

Extractions: 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?

Extractions: Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation (BEBRF) 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.

Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of 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. 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.

Information on the following diseases can be found in the Related Disorders section of this report: Benign Essential Blepharospasm is a rare disorder in which the muscles of the eyelids (orbiculares oculi) do not function properly. 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. 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.

According to one author, hereditary lymphoedema type II is the Meige syndrome; hereditary lymphoedema I is the Nonne-Milroy syndrome, also commonly referred to as Milroy disease. Some authors still combine these into a single syndrome, the Nonne-Milroy-Meige syndrome. It has been entered as such here, under Max Nonne, German neurologist, 1861-1959.

The lymphatic system is a circulatory network of vessels, ducts, and nodes that filter and distribute certain fluid (lymph) and blood cells throughout the body. Lymphatic fluid collects in the soft tissues in and under the skin (subcutaneous) due to the obstruction, malformation, or underdevelopment (hypoplasia) of various lymphatic vessels.
