What are the symptoms of Meijer syndrome? What are the symptoms of Meijer syndrome?

The main symptom of Meijer syndrome is dystonia of the head and face, so the vast majority of patients first manifest themselves with spasm of the eyelids, feeling that the eyes are constantly blinking and unable to open the eyes. There is another type of patient, the bilateral mouth corner involuntary movement, and another type of patient is the patient with neck muscles, constantly twisting the neck, about a frequency or idle for a few minutes, or even a few seconds before the neck twists, like this is the head and face stage dystonia. The last type is a combination of multiple eyes, including blepharospasm, ororomandibular spasm, and spasm of the neck muscles.

Dry eyes, onlookers, eyelid beating, involuntary twitching of the corners of the mouth, etc., it is recommended as soon as possible**.

Dry eyes, photophobia, throbbing upper eyelids.

First of all, we must talk about the issue of individual differences between people, which refers to the characteristics that are relatively stable in physical, psychological and social aspects, but different from others. Individual differences manifest themselves in many ways, and each individual has differences in physical, psychological, and social backgrounds.

Everyone's physical condition is different, Chinese medicine will roughly divide people's physique into these categories, including peace and quality, qi deficiency quality, yang deficiency quality, yin deficiency quality, phlegm dampness, damp heat quality, blood stasis quality, qi stagnation quality, special quality and other nine basic types, different types of constitution in physical characteristics, physiological characteristics, psychological characteristics, pathological reaction state, pathogenesis and other aspects have their own characteristics.

Meijer syndrome is also an incurable disease with a very complex pathogenesis, and the causative elements of Meijer syndrome are different for each person. There is a genetic factor in the congenital nature. There are iatrogenic factors that cause Meijer syndrome due to sequelae such as surgery in the hospital, such as parotid gland surgery, mastoid surgery, dentistry, tonsillectomy, etc.

There is also an infectious factor, and facial nerve infection is actually one of the most common cases of Meijer syndrome.

Neurogenic factors, that is, the symptoms of Meijer syndrome due to changes in nerves, such as some brain diseases, which develop slowly and eventually lead to the blood vessels in the face compressing the nerves, etc., are **. There are also trauma to the head and face, which leads to nerve compression, which is also a very common factor in Meijer syndrome.

This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly women, and the first symptom is blepharospasm, and ptosis and eyelid weakness are also common. Some begin in one eye and gradually spread to both eyes. Other presenting symptoms include increased blinking frequency, psychiatric disorders, dental disorders, and other areas of tension disorders (mainly in the craniocervial).

Blepharospasm improves during sleep, talking, singing, yawning, and mouth opening, and can be induced or worsened by bright light, fatigue, nervousness, walking, fixation, reading, and watching television.

Meijer syndrome is an idiopathic dystonia disease with blepharospasm and oral-mandibular dystonia as the main manifestations, the main symptoms of patients are mostly double blepharospasm as the first symptom, and there will also be ptosis of the upper eyelid and weakness of the upper eyelids, usually it can start in one eye, and gradually accumulate in both eyes, some patients will have frequent blinking, as well as dental diseases, and there will be tension disorders in other parts, according to the symptoms of the patient, it is necessary to go to the hospital for systematic examination in time, A CT scan of the head and an MRI can be done to rule out intracranial lesions, and once Meijer syndrome is diagnosed, aggressive symptomatic treatment is required**.

The early stages of Meijer syndrome are often confused with dry eye, and patients may experience visual fatigue, dry eyes, and photophobia when the eyelids have not yet blinked. In the early stages, the patient can still see the road, but in the later stages, we call it functional blindness. What is functional blindness is that although the patient's eyeball or retina is functionally intact, he cannot open his eyes because of the excessive spasmodic blinking of the eye muscles, so he cannot see the way.

When you go out, someone must help you, and then in the later stage, the patient will have laryngeal symptoms, the voice will change tone, the speech will be incomplete, and the expression will not be in place every time, because when you laugh or not, the corners of the mouth will always twitch involuntarily, and then there will be involuntary nodding in the later stage.

The symptoms of Meijer syndrome are mainly changes in facial expression muscles, changes in muscle tone, and small muscles, such as twitching of eyelid muscles, etc., which are manifested in the head and face.

Its symptoms can range from eyelid spasm to twitching of the corners of the mouth, changes in muscle tone of the head and face, stiffness, and so on. It can occur on one side or on both sides, and there are fewer on both sides, and it can also occur alternately on both sides, which is also relatively rare. Therefore, Meijer syndrome is just a syndrome, and its symptoms are limited to the head and facial expression muscles as long as the main symptoms are changes in muscle tone and muscle twitching.

Of course, there can be swallowing, there can also be neck, and there can be a combination of other head and face muscles. However, the cause of its syndrome is unknown, so there are certain individual differences in clinical manifestations, some manifestations are more complex, and some manifestations are more concentrated and less.

Meijer syndrome, a type of dystonia, is characterized by blepharospasm of the eyes, accompanied by involuntary opening, closing, pursing, and contraction of the lips. In severe cases, there may be symptoms such as jaw dislocation, tooth wear or loss, which often affect the patient's voice or swallowing. This disease is more common in middle-aged and elderly women, and the symptoms may be improved during sleep, talking, singing, and yawning.

However, the symptoms can be aggravated by bright light, fatigue, nervousness, or reading.

In the early stages of Meijer syndrome, there may be dry eyes, itchy eyes, foreign body sensation in the eyes, photophobia, photophobia, wind phobia, frequent blinking, and heavy eyelids. Symptoms include bilateral blepharospasm, difficulty opening eyes, twitching of facial and neck muscles, pouting, tongue sticking out, and teeth grinding.

Meijer syndrome is actually the word ** in English, it is called meige, this disease was first invented by a Frenchman, the main manifestations are the eyelids, perioral muscles, jaw muscles, swallowing muscles, and even the involuntary twitching of the neck muscles. Therefore, the patient seems to have eyelids that are constantly blinking, and he can't even open them, the corners of his mouth are constantly twitching, and there can be sounds like sobbing, sometimes accompanied by difficulty swallowing, and the neck will involuntarily twitch forward or to one side. That's why we sometimes call it blepharospasm, or oromandibular dystonia.

The main symptoms are as follows:

1. Blepharospasm Meijer syndrome.

2. Oromandibular dystonic Meijer disease, which is manifested as mouth opening, trismus clenching, pursed lips, pouting lips, protruding tongue, etc.

3. Typical Meijer syndrome refers to blepharospasm combined with oromandibular dystonic Meijer syndrome.

4. Intractable Meijer syndrome, the main symptoms are still manifested as blepharospasm, ororomandibular dystonia, facial dystonia, and involuntary movements, but it presents multifocal and localized dystonia, which does not simply involve the face, neck, chest, abdomen and other midline parts, but can also involve the limbs, and the upper limbs are more easily involved than the lower limbs.

Because of the problem of "squeezing eyebrows" and bizarre behavior, patients often feel low self-esteem and social phobia.

Meijer syndrome is an idiopathic dystonic disorder that may be associated with damage to the basal ganglia region of the brain, and its symptoms include blepharospasm, perioral muscle spasms, etc.

1.Blepharospasm: manifested by an increase in the frequency and frequency of blinking, difficulty opening the eyes, and difficulty in closing the eyes and face on both sides.

2.Perioral muscle spasm: Involuntary movement of perioral muscles, such as tongue biting and teeth grinding, can be relieved during sleep.

3.Dysphagia: Dysphagia occurs in severe cases. It should be noted that the disease may cause damage to other tissues and organs, and even affect the psychological state, causing tension, anxiety and other adverse emotions.

If you find that you have Meijer syndrome, you need to go to a regular hospital for treatment in time, and diagnose and ** under the guidance of a doctor, so as not to delay the condition. The most common symptom of Meijer syndrome is blepharospasm, or involuntary blinking, and some patients have spastic dystonia in the neck, trunk, or midline, while others may have chest symptoms, psychiatric symptoms, and in severe cases, complications such as dystonia, jaw dislocation, blindness, dysphagia, anxiety, or depression.

1. Typical symptoms.

1. Blepharospasm type: manifested as paroxysmal involuntary spasm or tonic contraction or involuntary blinking of the eyelids. About 25% of patients begin with unilateral blepharospasm and gradually progress to bilateral.

2. Blepharospasm combined with ororomandibular dystonia: while the blepharospasm is manifested, the lips and maxillofacial muscles are also spasmodic contractions, showing pouting, pursed lips, mouth opening, tongue protrusion, involuntary twitching of the corners of the mouth and facial muscles, and the patient has a strange expression.

3. Ororomandibular dystonia type: only spasmodic twitching of lips and jaw muscles.

4. Other types: on the basis of the above three types, combined with cervical, trunk and limb dystonia, symptoms such as frowning, torticollis, head tilt, and foot inversion appear.

2. Other symptoms.

1. Chest symptoms: chest tightness, chest suffocation, involuntary chest twitching.

2. Psychiatric symptoms: a small number of patients do not want to communicate with others and have emotional disorders.

Meijer syndrome is a staged dystonia, a relatively rare neurological disorder, also known as idiopathic blepharospasm-ororomandibular dystonia syndrome. The main clinical manifestations are blepharospasm, spasms of facial muscles, including various spasms of the jaw and neck muscles, and some of them are prone to various strange sounds from the throat.

Meijer syndrome is common in middle-aged and elderly people, more common in women, the ratio of men to women is about 1:3, according to the clinical manifestations are divided into four types, one is blepharospasm, one is blepharospasm-ororomandibular type, one is ororomandibular type, and other types, including some with limb dystonia. Bilateral blepharospasm is the most common presenting symptom, with a small number of patients presenting with oromandibular dystonia and involuntary movements.

Meijer syndrome is often associated with mood disturbances, a high incidence of depression, and anxiety with depression in some patients.
