| Description |
Essential blepharospasm is a disorder characterized by bilateral episodic contractions of the orbicularis oculi muscles and may be difficult to diagnose in its early stages. PET (18fluorodeoxyglucose [18FDG]) neuroimaging in patients with essential blepharospasm has suggested abnormal metabolism in the striatum, thalami, pons, and cerebellum. The value of this test as a clinical tool remains unexplored. |
