Essential blepharospasm is defined as the involuntary spasmodic bilateral closing of the eyelids. The symptoms are typically triggered by stress, fatigue, intense light, or individual factors. The disease is usually slowly progressive. Essential blepharospasm is predominant in females and often appears in people older than 50 years old.

Improvement of blepharospasm with Zolpidem
Movement Disorders, 2004AbstractZolpidem (ZLP) is an imidazopyridine that binds to GABA receptors. We report on improvement of blepharospasm in 3 patients treated with ZLP. The GABAergic action of this drug on the output structures of the basal ganglia could explain the improvement of blepharospasm in these patients.

From 1950 through 1984, 123 patients underwent surgical treatment of blepharospasm at the Mayo Clinic. During this period, four different operations (proximal and distal neurectomy and two types of myectomy) were used. Significant recurrent or residual blepharospasm was observed more frequently (P less than 0.01), and need for subsequent operations was

Neurology, 1996
Blepharospasm refers to excessive involuntary closure of the eyelids. It is generally (but not always) due to spasm of the orbicularis oculi (OO) muscles and occurs in a variety of disorders of the CNS, or may occur secondarily to ocular disorders. The most common form of blepharospasm, benign essential blepharospasm (BEB), is of unknown origin and is ...
