Extractions: Columbus, Ohio Web page created on December 13, 1997 Henri Meige described in 1904 what is now commonly called oral facial dystonia. There is some variation in what has been described since in what has been called Meige's syndrome, but in all descriptions there is blinking and chin thrusting. Some patients have lip pursing or tongue movements and, for a few, the movements spread into the shoulders. The cause remains obscure, treatment less than ideal, and frustration is a major factor as it is with blepharospasm. Many physicians, even regarding the more common essential blepharospasm, may have had no experience with Meige's syndrome and the patient may be told the process is psychologic. It is not. There are some similar conditions related to medication effects, for example, the mouth movement seen when excessive levodopa is present in patients with Parkinson's disease. Tardive dyskinesia, the movements that can follow prolonged use of major tranquilizers, can be associated with mouth and tongue movements. Some normal, elderly individuals develop spontaneous mouthing or chewing movements. Meige is more than and different from any of these other mouth movements. Blinking forcefully is often a part of it as is grimacing and the chin thrusting forward. At times there is a joint interactive movement between the oral movements and the eye movements. The patients are more likely to be women than men and usually at middle age or beyond. There is, as in all neurologic conditions, some variation with stress, but the movement is present at rest and with activity and when with others or alone. As with almost all movement disorders, it disappears in sleep.

References Overview Definitions Incidence Differential diagnosis Treatments ... Bottom of Page Blepharopspasm was first described in the 16th century by the painting by Pieter Brueghel entitled "De Gaper." During the 16th century, patients were institutionalized in insane asylums Little progress was made in understanding and treating blepharospasm until the mid-1900's. In 1907, Meige described a similar patient with dystonia which is now termed Meige syndrome. In 1956, Henderson wrote a classic article on Blepharopspasm describing the disability and treatments. can occur with specific precipitating stressors, such as bright lights, fatigue, and emotional tension; as the course continues, it occurs more frequently during the day and it may intensify so that when the spasms occur the eyelids may remain forcefully closed for short periods of time. Of note, the spasms disappear sleep and often by concentrating on a specific task. Possible origins include: basal ganglia, psychosomatic

If you, or anybody close to you, is affected, or believe to be affected, by any condition mentioned here: see a doctor. The term Meige's syndrome II/Brueghel's syndrome is used for blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia occurring together. It is a disabling spasm of the facial musculature consisting of primary blepharospasm followed by abnormal facial movement. Squinting may begin unilaterally but soon becomes bilateral. In time, the lower facial muscles becomes involved with yawning, jaw opening, and abnormal tongue movements. The voice is often affected as well. The involuntary movements cease during sleep. The condition may be aggravated by eating or talking and is sometimes lessened by humming, singing, yawning or voluntary opening of the mouth.

Extractions: Aidyston@wanadoo.fr LE SYNDROME DE MEIGE Pr. J.P. ADENIS Le syndrome de MEIGE est caractérisé par la présence de spasmes au niveau du muscle orbiculaire (blépharospasme) et au niveau de la partie basse de la face et des muscles du cou et de la mandibule. Il s'appelle aussi syndrome de BRUEGHEL du nom du peintre flamand qui est semble-t-il le premier à avoir décrit l'affection, sur un tableau. Etiologie 1) Dans la majorité des cas, l'étiologie de ce syndrome reste inconnue. Il s'agit là du syndrome de MEIGE primaire. 2) Il peut être secondaire à des affections intra-crâniennes d'étiologie connue. 3) Une prédisposition génétique existe dans certains cas de maladies familiales. 4) Certaines maladies immunologiques telle que la polyarthrite rhumatoïde, la myasthénie grave ou le syndrome de de Sjögren, ainsi que certaines anomalies thyroïdiennes peuvent prédisposer à la survenue de ce syndrome. Historique Le neurologiste français Henri MEIGE a décrit ce syndrome en détail en 1910, dans sa forme idiopathique sous le nom de spasme facial médian.
