Abstract
- In 1910, Henri Meige described "spasme facial median", which a disorder characterized chiefly by symmetric dystonic spasm of the facial muscles. This dyskinesia is most commonly seen in middle aged or elderly women and consists primarily of blepharospasm with marked overflow into other facial movements. The cause of this disorder is obscure and there has been no consistent response to any particular treatment. With reviewing some of literatures, we present 3 cases of Meige's syndrome which is improved by pharmacotheraphy.
