Apraxia of Lid Opening

Meige Syndrome Secondary to Basal Ganglia Injury: A Potential Cause of Acute Respiratory Distress

“…9 This feature was particularly noticeable in this case and appeared to closely resemble an "apraxia of lid opening". 12 While this did not represent a true apraxia of lid opening, such mimicking has been previously described. 13 Furthermore, while Meige syndrome patients are often seen to use "tricks" to re-open their eyes in such circumstances, this particular patient was never observed to do so.…”

Debunking the Puzzle of Eyelid Apraxia: The Muscle of Riolan Hypothesis

“…(5) Finally, the occurrence of episodes of involuntary drooping of the eyelids in scAEO patients is anathema to the definition of apraxia as this does not involve the conceptualization or the voluntary execution of any movement. 6,8,11,14,16–20,34,37,42,55,56…”

Apraxia of Eyelid Opening Improved by Pallidal Stimulation in Progressive Supranuclear Palsy

“…AEO was first described as "a defect in the voluntary initiation of lid opening" without paralysis or blepharospasm. 1 AEO is associated with neurological disorders, including frontotemporal lesions, PD, Huntington's disease, multiple system atrophy, and especially PSP. 3 Our patient met criteria for probable PSP with Richardson's syndrome.…”
