BLEPHAROSPASM OROMANDIBULAR DYSKINESIAS Meaning and Definition

  1. Blepharospasm Oromandibular Dyskinesias refers to a neurological condition that involves abnormal involuntary movements affecting the eyelids, facial muscles, and jaws. It is characterized by a combination of blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking or twitching of the eyelids) and oromandibular dyskinesias (involuntary movements of the muscles in the mouth and jaw region).

    Blepharospasm refers to the repetitive and involuntary closure of the eyelids, resulting in excessive blinking, eyelid spasms, or even complete inability to open the eyes. The phenomenon typically occurs due to the dysfunction of the muscles responsible for eyelid movement. Oromandibular dyskinesias, on the other hand, involve involuntary movements of the muscles in the lower face, tongue, and jaw. This can include abnormal jaw opening, jaw deviation, lip smacking, tongue thrusting, or chewing movements.

    The exact cause of Blepharospasm Oromandibular Dyskinesias is not entirely understood; however, it is often classified as a type of focal dystonia, which is a movement disorder characterized by sustained or intermittent muscle contractions. Some cases of this condition may have an underlying genetic component, while others may be triggered by trauma, medications, stress, or other unknown factors.

    Treatment options for Blepharospasm Oromandibular Dyskinesias include medications such as botulinum toxin injections, which can help relax the affected muscles and reduce the involuntary movements. In severe cases, surgical interventions such as myectomy (removal of muscle tissue) or deep brain stimulation may be considered.
