Abstract:
Apraxia of eyelid closure is an uncommon condition characterized by difficulties in voluntary eye closing with preserved normal blinking. Meige's syndrome is a disorder of adults, and is characterized by prolonged symmetric dystonic contraction of the orofacial muscles and blepharospasm. We report a case of apraxia of eyelid closure on the right eye with Meige's syndrome on the left eye complicating a left middle cerebral artery territory infarction.
