Description Meige syndrome is a rare disorder of blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia, thought to be idiopathic in etiology. Familial association is present in rare cases. We present a case of Meige syndrome associated with olivopontocerebellar degeneration, in a patient with a strong family history of similar symptoms. Our patient also had symptoms of episodic diaphragmatic dystonia which is a rare association with this condition.
