A total of 136 injections was given to 83 patients for strabismus (99 injections), blepharospasm (29 injections), and spastic entropion (eight injections). All four patients with entropion experienced temporary benefits and early recurrence; one injection resulted in temporary paralytic ectropion. Two of 13 patients treated for blepharospasm developed transient bilateral blepharoptosis. Temporary and related sequelae of extraocular muscle injection included one periocular hemorrhage, one total ophthalmoplegia, and a 44% incidence (29 of 66 patients) of blepharoptosis, which in two patients lasted more than six months. Within three days of injection one patient developed homolateral acute herpes simplex keratitis and a second died of an acute myocardial infarction. No causal relationship for these events has been established.

Eyelid motor abnormalities found in progressive supranuclear palsy are reviewed. Electrophysiological correlates of blepharospasm, levator inhibition (blepharokolysis) and supranuclear paralysis of lid closure are presented. Disorders of eyelid motility are not uncommon in progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). They may be found in about one third of patients with this syndrome (Jackson et al., 1983; Golbe et al., 1989). This is not surprising since ocular and eyelid movements are highly coordinated, mainly in the vertical plane (Gordon, 1951; Kennard and Smith, 1963; Kennard and Glaser, 1964), and a supranuclear ophthalmoplegia with down gaze impairment is a cardinal feature of PSP (Steele et al., 1964). The spectrum of eyelid motor disorders described in PSP includes blinking abnormalities, lid retraction, blepharospasm, levator inhibition and supranuclear palsy of eye closure.

We studied the clinical features, the natural history and disability in 47 progressive supranuclear palsy patients and brain imaging aspects by routinely performed MRI in a subgroup of 25. Unexplained falls together with atypical parkinsonism (symmetric, levodopa unresponsive without resting tremor) are good clinical pointers of the early diagnosis, since they occurred within the first year. Cognitive slowness and unspecific visual complains are also early symptoms, while usual cardinal signs such as supranuclear palsy are more delayed. Blepharospasm and eyelid opening apraxia as well as deep sighs are also quite characteristic clinical features (1/3 of cases). Cardinal signs (falls, pseudobulbar signs, supranuclear gaze palsy) worsened rapidly (20 to 30 months) towards a major disability. In the 20 patients deceased during follow-up, the mean survival time was about 5 years. The MRI study showed typical cortical fronto-temporo-parietal atrophy, mesencephalic and quadrigeminal plate atrophy with third ventricle dilatation. In conclusion, unexplained falls associated with atypical parkinsonism are contributive for the early clinical diagnosis. Non specific visual complains could be useful pointers in the absence of supranuclear ophthalmoplegia. MRI contributes to the clinical diagnosis even in the first 3 years of the disease course.

Based on the data from the Information Library of Acupuncture-Moxibustion of TCM, the bibliometric analysis was applied to analyze and evaluate the literature regarding clinical research of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy published between 1954 to 2016, hoping to objectively reflect the disease spectrum and indication of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy. The results showed that the disease spectrum of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy involved 47 specific diseases in 13 types of diseases. The total number of cases was 176 469, and the number of effective cases was 160 662, and the effective rate was 91.0%. The indication of acupuncture for ophthalmopathy included myopia, blepharoptosis and conjunctivitis. The commonly used indications were strabismus, dry eye and ophthalmoplegia, and the secondary indications were optic atrophy, blepharoptosis, oculomotor paralysis, blepharospasm, amblyopia. The most commonly used acupuncture points for ophthalmopathy were Cuanzhu (BL 2), Jingming (BL 1), Taiyang (EX-HN 5), and the most commonly used auricular points were yan (LO5), gan (CO12) and shen (CO10). As for the methods of acupoint combination, local acupoints were mainly selected, combined with distal acupoint to assist treatment.
