Abstract/Text
Focal dystonia is regarded as a characteristic feature of blepharospasm. However, patients do not always present with motor symptoms. To clarify the clinical features of blepharospasm in Japan, we conducted a retrospective observational study involving a large population of patients from a single institution. Common symptoms included difficulty opening the eyes, photophobia, and ocular pain/irritation. Initial symptoms often occurred following the long-term use of psychotropics such as etizoram, benzodiazepines, and zolpidem (32% of patients). Our findings demonstrated that the clinical presentation of blepharospasm is heterogenous, and that understanding regarding sensory-dominant forms of the disease may be poor among practitioners in Japan.
