A case with a rare type of trigemino-oculomotor synkinesis: clinical and blink reflex study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several abnormal synkinetic eye movements during jaw movements may often be seen after trauma or congenitally in the Marcus Gunn jaw winking phenomenon. The most frequent type consists of unilateral ptosis and retraction of the ptotic lid upon moving the jaw. The authors describe a case with isolated simultaneous adduction of the left eye upon jaw movement. This paper presents a rare case of Marcus Gunn jaw winking with trigemino-oculomotor synkinesis.

Kinematic and Diffusion Tensor Imaging Definition of Familial Marcus Gunn Jaw-Winking Synkinesis
BACKGROUND Marcus Gunn jaw-winking synkinesis (MGJWS) is characterized by eyelid ptosis, which disappears during jaw movement. Familial MGJWS is an extremely rare condition. Some authors suggested that MGJWS is due to neural misdirection in the brainstem whereas others suggested that aberrant reinnervation or ephapse may be responsible for synkinetic activity. Pathogenesis of this condition is ...
متن کاملComparison of the Blink Reflex and R2 Recovery Cycle Parameters Between Blepharospasm and Healthy Subjects
Background & Objective: The blink reflex recovery cycle indicates the excitability of interneurons in the brainstem. In this study, we aimed to investigate the blink reflex and R2 recovery cycle in patients with benign essential blepharospasm (BEB). Materials & Methods: This prospective case-control study compared the blink reflex and R2 recovery in 18 BEB patients with 18 age- and gender-m...
متن کاملStudy of anatomic location of blink reflex arch in patients with hemispheric strokes
Introduction: Blink reflex (BR) is a new electro diagnostic test mediated through a reflex arch with fifth cranial nerve in its afferent and seventh cranial nerve in its efferent side. BR responses are designed R1 , R2 and R2c responses. Anatomic locations of this reflex arch in central nervous system are still undefined and various results have been reported in different studies, for example...
متن کاملPrimary hemifacial spasm: a neurophysiological study.
A series of 53 cases of primary hemifacial spasm have been evaluated by means of blink reflexes and their results compared with a normal control group. Reflex responses were obtained by percutaneous electrical stimulus of both the supraorbital nerve (trigemino-facial reflex), and the facial nerve at the stylo-mastoid region (facio-facial reflex). The R2 response was considered abnormal when its...
متن کاملSurgical Outcomes in Cases of Marcus-Gunn Jaw-Winking Phenomenon.
BACKGROUND Markus-Gunn Jaw-winking Phenomenon (MGJW) is a congenital ptosis associated with synkinetic movement of upper lid on masticating movements of jaw. It results from aberrant connection between motor division of trigeminal nerve and oculomotor nerve. OBJECTIVE To investigate the clinical characteristics of MGJW phenomenon and evaluate its surgical outcomes of unilateral levator excisi...
