- W4296692015 abstract "Purpose: Apraxia of eyelid opening (AEO) has been defined by the presence of an intermittent nonparalytic bilateral loss of the volitional ability to open the eyes or to maintain the eyelids in a sustained elevated position. It is not known whether the condition represents an apraxia, a dystonia, or a freezing phenomenon, and several different nomenclatorial terms have been suggested for this condition including the so-called AEO (scAEO), blepahrocolysis, focal eyelid dystonia, and so on. The primary goal of this review is to attempt to clarify the pathogenetic mechanisms underlying scAEO as a clinical phenomenon. This review also addresses the issue of whether scAEO is part of the spectrum of blepharospasm (BSP) which includes BSP, dystonic blinks and other dystonic eyelid conditions, or whether it is a separate phenomenologically heterogeneous disease with clinical features that merely overlap with BSP. Methods: A literature review was conducted in PubMed, MEDLINE, PubMed Central (PMC), NCBI Bookshelf, and Embase for several related keywords including the terms “apraxia of eyelid opening,” “pretarsal blepharospasm,” “blepharocolysis,” “eyelid freezing,” “eyelid akinesia,” “levator inhibition,” “blepharospasm-plus,” as well as “blepharospasm.” The clinical findings in patients with scAEO who fulfilled the classic diagnostic criteria of the disease that were originally set by Lepore and Duvoisin were included, while patients with isolated blepharospasm or dystonic blinks (DB) were excluded. In addition, electromyographic (EMG) studies in patients with scAEO were reviewed in detail with special emphasis on studies that performed synchronous EMG recordings both from the levator muscle (LPS) and the pretarsal orbicularis oculi muscle (OO). Results: The apraxia designation is clearly a misnomer. Although scAEO behaves clinically as a hypotonic freezing phenomenon, it also shares several cardinal features with focal dystonias. The authors broadly categorized the EMG data into 3 different patterns. The first pattern (n = 26/94 [27.6%]) was predominantly associated with involuntary discharges in the OO muscle and has been termed pretarsal blepharospasm (ptBSP). The commonest pattern was pattern no. 2 (n = 53/94 [56.38%]), which was characterized by involuntary discharges in the OO muscle, together with a disturbed reciprocal innervation of the antagonist levator muscle and is dubbed disturbed reciprocal innervation (DRI). This EMG pattern is difficult to discern from the first pattern. Pattern no. 3 (n = 15/94 [15.9%]) is characterized by an isolated levator palpebrae inhibition (ILPI). This levator silence was observed alone without EMG evidence of contractions in the pretarsal orbicularis or a disturbed reciprocal relation of both muscles. Conclusion: EMG evidence shows that the great majority (84%) of patients show a dystonic pattern, whereas ILPI (16%) does not fit the dystonic spectrum. The authors propose that a spasmodic contraction of the muscle of Riolan may be the etiological basis for levator inhibition in patients with ILPI. If this is true, all the 3 EMG patterns observed in scAEO patients (ptBSP, DRI, and ILPI) would represent an atypical form of BSP. The authors suggest coining the terms Riolan muscle BSP ( rmBSP ) for ILPI, and the term atypical focal eyelid dystonia ( AFED ) instead of the term scAEO, as both terms holistically encompass both the clinical and EMG data and concur with the authors’ theorem." @default.
