Blepharospasm with bilateral basal ganglia infarction
J. R. Keane and J. A. Young
Severe, involuntary, forceful closure of both eyelids, along with dystonia
and rigidity, followed hypoxic encephalopathy in a young man whose computed
tomographic scan showed symmetric infarcts of the corpus striatum.
Symptomatic blepharospasm can result from bilateral damage to the basal
ganglia.
