Facial dystonia: clinical features, prognosis and pharmacology in 31 patients

Because of the increased incidence of blepharospasm in patients with hemifacial spasm, our patient's clinical presentation is probably not a chance occurrence, but rather a manifestation of some ...

"Trick" movements in facial dystonia.
The Journal of clinical psychiatry, 1985Two patients with facial dystonia (blepharospasm and/or oromandibular dystonia) presented with an unusual "trick" movement. Both patients were able to inhibit blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia by vocalizations including singing, reading, and speaking spontaneously. The significance of "trick" movements in facial dystonia is discussed.

Since he was suffering from blepharospasm, facial electromyography was performed and revealed a perioral dystonia. This possible cause of facial pain might have been overlooked had dystonia not been considered and electromyographical studies ...
