[Blepharospasm and Meige's syndrome--a contribution to it's pathogenesis].

Two cases with blepharospasm followed by Meige syndrome were described. In the first magnetic resonants revealed bilateral hypodensive foci in thalamus. During the few years general dystonia has been developed after several relapses of disease diagnosed as multiple infarcts followed by aphasia, hemiparesis and asynergia. In the other one, who died, loss of neurons in striatum, especially in caudate nuclei was found. It is concluded that blepharospasm could be a syndrome of different origin and only the phase of Meige syndrome.
