SURGICAL ASPECT OF BLEPHAROSPASM TREATMENT: A CASE REPORT
Blepharospasm is an idiopathic condition characterized by involuntary eyelid clo-sure mainly caused by bilateral tonic-clonic contractions of the orbicularis oculi muscle. It results in patient inability to open their eyes, thus significantly impairing their ability to perform activities of daily living. First-line treatment for blepharospasm are primarily botulinum toxin type A injections. However, surgical procedure as a treatment option can also be taken in consideration. In this overview, we present a case of a 75-year-old female patient who received surgical treatment as per Anderson’s method after being treated with botulinum toxin type A for 3 years. This form of therapy proved to be an extremely successful permanent solution in the treatment of severe cases of refractory blepharo-spasm, without any long-term complications, especially ectropion and lagophthalmos.
