2. Truques sensoriais em diferentes tipos de distonia e no espasmo hemifacial
Introduction: The dystonia is a syndrome of sustained involuntary muscle contractions always producing twisting and repetitive movements or abnormal postures. Of all movement disorders associated with basal ganglia dysfunction, dystonia is the least understood in terms of underlying pathophysiology. Recent works revealed that basal ganglia cortico-striatal-t

3. Avaliação da prevalência de glaucoma em pacientes com blefaroespasmo essencial / Prevalence of glaucoma in patients with essential blepharospasm
INTRODUÇÃO: O blefaroespasmo essencial é uma distonia focal caracterizada por contrações involuntárias, espasmódicas e bilaterais dos músculos protratores das pálpebras. O glaucoma é a principal causa de cegueira irreversível em adultos de países desenvolvidos e a elevação da pressão intra-ocular é o maior fator de risco para o desenvolviment

4. Capsaicin effects on blinking
Blinking is a normal human phenomenom involving trigeminal and facial patways. To gain understanding on the neurobiology of blinking, five normal subjects were investigated before and after application of transdermal capsaicin at the forehead for two weeks. No effects of topical capsaicin were detected in eye blink rates. However, when capsaicin was applied

7. The relationship between eye-winking tics, frequent eye-blinking and blepharospasm.
A family is reported in which three generations were affected with eye-winking tics and/or blepharospasm. The proband developed eye-winking tics in childhood and then developed excessive blinking progressing to blepharospasm by the age of 21 years. His mother presented with Meige's syndrome and spasmodic torticollis at the age of 59 years; his uncle had blin

8. Neurophysiological observations on the effects of botulinum toxin treatment in patients with dystonic blepharospasm.
Botulinum toxin treatment improves dystonic blepharospasm by inducing transient paresis of the orbicularis oculi muscle. It is not known if it also reduces the enhanced brainstem neuronal excitability found in this disorder. We have performed conventional electromyography (EMG) and blink reflex excitability studies on fifteen patients with blepharospasm befo

9. Blepharospasm: a review of 264 patients.
The natural history and response to different treatments have been evaluated in 264 patients with blepharospasm. The mean age of onset was 55.8 years and there was a female preponderance of 1.8 to 1. Dystonia elsewhere was found in 78% of patients, usually in the cranial-cervical region, and appeared to follow a somatotopic progression. A family history of b

10. Acute angle-closure glaucoma following botulinum toxin injection for blepharospasm.
Botulinum toxin inhibits acetylcholine release and therefore could cause mydriasis. We report a case of acute angle-closure glaucoma which occurred shortly after a series of injections of botulinum toxin round the eyelids for blepharospasm.

11. Blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia syndrome (Brueghel's syndrome). A variant of adult-onset torsion dystonia?
Thirty-nine patients with the idiopathic blepharospasm-oromandibular dystonia syndrome are described. All presented in adult life, usually in the sixth decade; women were more commonly affected than men. Thirteen had blepharospasm alone, nine had oromandibular dystonia alone, and 17 had both. Torticollis or dystonic writer's camp preceded the syndrome in two

12. Pretarsal application of botulinum toxin for treatment of blepharospasm.
The response to botulinum toxin type A was compared after two injection techniques in 45 patients with blepharospasm. Initially, patients were treated according to a triple injection technique; two injections into the upper eyelid and one injection into the lower eyelid. Subsequently, without altering the dose, the same patient group received two further inj
