Meige syndrome is an adult-onset dystonic movement disorder that predominantly involves facial muscles, while some patients with this syndrome develop spasmodic dysphonia and dystonia of the neck, trunk, arms, and legs. We report that all dystonic symptoms that had been refractory to both pharmacotherapy and bilateral thalamotomy were markedly alleviated by bilateral pallidal stimulation in a patient with segmental axial dystonia advanced from Meige syndrome. © 2001 Movement Disorder Society.

Abstract The Moches were a pre-Columbian culture from Peru, who had a fine ceramic technique and used to represent diseases. One example is the potter presented here which represents a man with a probable Meige's syndrome and may be the first artistic representation of this disease. © 2010 Movement Disorder Society.

Levetiracetam in Meige's syndrome

N. Yardimci
The spontaneous occurrence of blepharospasm and dystonic movements in face muscles, particularly those of the perioral and mandibular regions, has been named as Meige's disease which was first described by Henry Meige in 1910. We report the case of a woman with Meige's syndrome whose symptoms improved with the use of levetiracetam. [source]
