Blepharospasm and autoimmune diseases

Abstract: We studied two patients, one with systemic lupus erythematosus and the other with myasthenia gravis, both of whom had coexistent blepharospasm. The blepharospasm occurred during exacerbations of the autoimmune diseases and improved with immunosuppressive therapy. These cases illustrate the possible association of blepharospasm and autoimmune disorders.
