Superselective neurectomy with periorbital primary reconstruction for blepharospasm. Case report.
A 66-year old man with blepharospasm and ptosis of the brow was treated with a combined procedure in which the branches of the facial nerve were excised at the margin of the orbicularis, and the periorbital area was reconstructed simultaneously. The condition improved after the treatment with no occurrence of either oral complications or facial anaesthesia.
