Marcus Gunn Jaw-Winking Synkinesis With Ipsilateral Eyelid Myokymia.
Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery 2020 April 14
PURPOSE: To describe a novel observation of ipsilateral eyelid myokymia in the context of Marcus Gunn jaw-winking synkinesis (MGJWS).
METHODS: A retrospective case series of 5 patients observed to have myokymia in the context of MGJWS in 2 tertiary hospitals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia was conducted. Demographic profile including age and gender, and clinical features were analyzed.
RESULTS: Five patients (3 males and 2 females) with MGJWS were noted to demonstrate the phenomenon of ipsilateral eyelid myokymia. All but 1 had right-sided MGJWS. The myokymia was seen as upper eyelid twitching in a vertical fashion along the levator palpebrae superioris muscle field of action. All subjects also had ipsilateral Monocular elevation deficiency.
CONCLUSION: Ipsilateral upper eyelid myokymia is a potential feature of MGJWS. Monocular elevation seems to be a constant feature among MGJWS patients with levator muscle myokymia.
