We report a rare case of a 45 year old female with 15 year history of progressive left facial thinning
with frequent episodes of involuntary jaw closure and almost continuous rippling movements over
her left sided masticatory muscles. There was localized scleroderma, left facial hemi atrophy and left
hemi masticatory spasm. Localized scleroderma was proven histopathologically. Electrophysiological
studies revealed normal blink reflex on both sides. Her masseter inhibitory reflex was absent bilaterally
and surface electromyogram showed spontaneous bursts of high frequency activity over bilateral
masseter and left temporalis muscles. The patient responded remarkably with bilateral botulinum toxin
injection. This case highlights presence of rare bilateral involvement of HMS especially on EMG and
excellent response to botulinum toxin.
