Purpose: A group of patients suffering from blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and Meige's syndrome were surveyed to determine the delay from the onset of their condition until a correct diagnosis was reached, the attitudes of practitioners towards them and their condition, the effect of their condition on their lifestyle and the effects of different types of treatment on their conditions.
Methods: Questionnaires were offered to all patients with blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm and Meige's syndrome presenting to three ophthalmologists licensed to treat patients with botulinum toxin injections over a 12 month period.
Results: Patients consulted an average of 4.4 practitioners before a correct diagnosis was made and many waited a number of years before obtaining satisfactory treatment. Approximately two-thirds of all practitioners consulted were unaware of their condition. Ten per cent of patients reported a family history of similar conditions. Most patients received relief from their symptoms with treatment using injections of botulinum toxin. More than 55% of patients considered themselves to have psychological problems (usually relating to stress and trauma) that they associated with the onset of their condition.
Conclusions: Facial muscie dystonias are rare and patient experiences suggest that they are poorly appreciated in the medical community. From the time they first see a practitioner with symptoms of facial dystonia, patients typically wait 2 years and see four practitioners before a correct diagnosis is made. Stress may be a factor in the symptomatic onset of this condition. Many patients describe pain as part of the presenting symptomatology. Botulinum toxin seems to be effective in the management of facial spasm. 相似文献

The case of a 55-year-old man with severe spasm of the upper and lower eyelids is presented. The differential diagnosis of essential blepharospasm is discussed, as are the various treatment modalities. The importance of careful ophthalmic and neurological examination is emphasized, as, in some instances, blepharospasm is associated with basal ganglia dysfunction. 相似文献

We review the existing literature on the involuntary facial movement disorders—benign essential blepharospasm, apraxia of eyelid opening, hemifacial spasm, and aberrant facial nerve regeneration. The etiology of idiopathic blepharospasm, a disorder of the central nervous system, and hemifacial spasm, a condition involving the facial nerve of the peripheral nervous system, is markedly different. We discuss established methods of managing patients and highlight new approaches. 相似文献

Purpose:The aim of this study was to report the outcomes of a regional variant of botulinum toxin type A (BtA) in essential blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm.Methods:The medical records of all patients with facial dystonias, who received at least one dose of BtA between May 2016 and April 2017 were retrospectively evaluated. The pre- and post-injection severity of symptoms, graded using the Jankovic rating system for essential blepharospasm and the Samsung Medical Center grading system for hemifacial spasm, the complications after each sitting, and the mean symptom-free interval were recorded. A correlation analysis was done to identify factors associated with longer symptom-free intervals. A P value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant.Results:The mean age at presentation was 56.62 ± 10.56 years. The mean duration of follow-up was 1.86 ± 2.06 years. The modal disease severity reduced from 5 to 0 in essential blepharospasm and from 2 to 0 in hemifacial spasm a week after injection of botulinum toxin. The mean symptom-free intervals with doses of 20, 22.5, 25, 30, and 50 units were 102.1 ± 44.7, 132.4 ± 35.3, 147.2 ± 61.6, 124.4 ± 55.1, and 142.4 ± 59.7 days, respectively. The commonest complication was lagophthalmos (26.3%; n = 20). Injections for primary dystonias were associated with longer disease-free intervals than those for secondary dystonias (P = 0.02). In nine sittings, the dose was increased for increased severity or presumed resistance, which resulted in a significant increase in the symptom-free interval (P = 0.004) without an increased incidence of complications (P = 0.48).Conclusion:BtA is safe and effective in the treatment of facial dystonias. The drug is more efficacious for primary facial dystonias. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Botulinum toxin (Botox) is the mainstay treatment for benign essential blepharospasm. Current treatment practice appears restricted by several reports demonstrating adverse effects and resistance to high-frequency, higher-dose therapy. This study aimed to explore whether high-dose, high-frequency treatments could be used without developing secondary resistance and without significant side-effects in patients refractory to conventional Botox doses. METHODS: From a cohort of 120 patients being treated with Botox therapy for benign essential blepharospasm and idiopathic hemifacial spasm, case notes from six patients were retrospectively examined. In these patients, therapy had exceeded the recommended 50 units per side for a duration greater than 12 months and at less than 3 monthly intervals. Patterns in subjective severity grading and percentage of improvement as well as reported side-effects were analysed. RESLUTS: All patients described greater than 60% improvement and 0-2 severity grading over a 3- to 15-year period with no evidence of secondary resistance. Side-effects were minor, transient and less frequently reported at higher doses. CONCLUSION: In a select group of patients, Botox therapy can be used effectively at doses higher than recommended over long periods with minimal side-effects and little evidence of secondary resistance. 相似文献

Purpose: To observe the efficacy of the combined treatment of carbamazepine and botulinum toxin A for blepharospasm and hemifacial spasm. Methods: Fifty-eight patients with either blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm were randomly divided into treatment and control groups. In the treatment group, 30 patients were administered with local intramuscular injections of botulinum toxin A and oral carbamazepine 100 mg/time,3 times/day for 60 days. Twenty-eight subjects in the control group underwent local intramuscular injections of botulinum toxin A only. Results: After combined treatment, the complete remission rate was 90%, which was significantly higher than that of the of the control group (67.9%, P<0.05,X2=4.733). However, no statistical significance was noted regarding the duration of therapeutic effects between the treatment group (range 14~40 weeks; 19.2 weeks on average) and control group (range 12~36 weeks; 18 weeks on average). Conclusion: The combined therapy of carbamazepine and topical injections of botulinum toxin A had increased efficacy in the treatment of blepharospasm or hemifacial spasm, but had no significant effect in terms of the duration of the therapeutic effect. 相似文献

Alan B. Scott selected, researched and developed Type A Botulinum toxin for clinical use in ophthalmology. This unique drug has proved invaluable for treatment of a number of conditions which are difficult to treat in ophthalmology and in a variety of other disciplines. The indications, methods and problems of its use are described and the results of treatment of 133 patients are discussed. Up to December 1986 over 13 000 patients have been treated in a multicentre international trial without significant complications. 相似文献

Hemifacial Spasm Due to Intracranial Tumor: An International Survey of Botulinum Toxin Investigators
《Ophthalmology》1988,95(8):1042-1045
Hemifacial spasm (HFS) due to intracranial mass lesions is rare. Most cases are thought to be due to compression of the facial nerve by small vessels near the root of the facial nerve. A survey was undertaken of all botulinum toxin investigators to determine the incidence of imaged mass lesions causing HFS. Responders contributed information on 1676 patients with HFS. Of this group, nine tumors were reported for an incidence of 0.54% of patients. However, of this group only 52.5% underwent computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) scanning so the incidence of tumor causing HFS could be as high as 1.0%. No one tumor type was predominant, and most patients were women older than 50 years of age. The incidence compares with another large series of HFS patients in which one tumor was found in 367 patients. The authors also report as an illustrative case a 26-year-old man with HFS due to a presumed lipoma of the cerebellopontine angle. This diagnosis can be made with increased certainty with MR scanning. If the incidence of unsuspected diagnostically significant mass lesions is 1 in 200 patients with HFS referred for botulinum toxin injection, the cost of detecting one such lesion would be $100,000 at an average imaging cost of $500 per MR imaging or CT examination. Although mass lesions are uncommon, any patient with HFS whose general clinical course could justify intervention should be considered for imaging studies to rule out treatable conditions other than vascular compression. 相似文献

Background: Botulinum toxin (BTX) is the first‐line treatment in managing benign essential blepharospasm (BEB) and hemifacial spasm (HFS). We wished to assess the difference in duration of effect and the number of BTX treatments required to treat patients with BEB and HFS. Methods: A prospective study of patients attending the BTX clinic in Manchester Royal Eye Hospital over 6 months. All treatments were administered by a single experienced ophthalmologist. A questionnaire was completed for each patient. In patients with BEB where the BTX was injected bilaterally, one side was randomized to compare with HFS patients. Patient demographics, cumulative dose of BTX, duration of BTX effect with patient satisfaction and the number of previous BTX injections were recorded. Results: Sixty‐four patients were included in the study. The mean age was 60.8 years. Among them, 30 patients had BEB and 34 had HFS. Patients with HFS received a lower mean dose of BTX than patients with BEB (12.23 units vs. 16.2 units). The patients with HFS had a longer duration of effect than patients with BEB, with fewer BTX treatments. Of all patients, 90% with HFS and BEB were satisfied with the effect of their last BTX injection. Three unsatisfied patients in the BEB group were referred on for surgical management of their disorder. Conclusions: We have shown that patients with BEB have a shorter duration of effect with BTX and require more frequent BTX treatments than patients with HFS, highlighting that facial dystonias in patients with BEB is more challenging to manage. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE : To determine the efficacy of lamellar division for correcting cicatricial lid entropion and its associated features unrectified by the tarsal fracture technique. METHODS : Fifty patients (92 lids) diagnosed as having cicatricial lid entropion were operated by the tarsal fracture technique. There was defective lid closure in 34/92 lids, irregular lid margin in 48/92 lids, distichiatic or metaplastic cilia in 28/92 lids and a history of previous entropion surgery in 34/92 lids. All patients were followed up for one year and the surgical failures at the end of this period were subjected to lamellar division. These subjects were further followed up for one more year./ RESULTS : An overall success rate of 28.26% (26/92 lids) was obtained with the tarsal fracture technique. A correction was achieved in all the 20 lids having cicatricial entropion without any associated features. However, this technique succeeded in only six of the remaining 72 lids (8.33%) with a history of previous surgery or the associated features stated above. Furthermore, it was not effective in correcting associated anomalies such as defective lid closure, irregular lid margin and distichiatic or metaplastic cilia. Reoperation using lamellar division gave good correction in 97% of the lids (64/66). CONCLUSIONS : Lamellar division is a better procedure for treating cicatricial lid entropion, especially in patients with associated complications or with a previous history of entropion surgery. 相似文献

Botulinum toxin in ophthalmology 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
Since its introduction into clinical medicine in 1980, botulinum toxin has become a major therapeutic drug with applications valuable to many medical sub-specialties. Its use was spearheaded in ophthalmology where its potential applications have expanded to cover a broad range of visually related disorders. These include dystonic movement disorders, strabismus, nystagmus, headache syndromes such as migraine, lacrimal hypersecretion syndromes, eyelid retraction, spastic entropion, compressive optic neuropathy, and, more recently, periorbital aesthetic uses. Botulinum toxin is a potent neurotoxin that blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction of cholinergic nerves. When used appropriately it will weaken the force of muscular contraction, or inhibit glandular secretion. Recovery occurs over 3 to 4 months from nerve terminal sprouting and regeneration of inactivated proteins necessary for degranualtion of acetylcholine vesicles. Complications are related to chemodenervation of adjacent muscle groups, injection technique, and immunological mechanisms. 相似文献
