Synkinetic movement of the mandible with ocular movement is a rare anomaly. Carmichael and Critchley (1925) noticed that, when the eyes were rapidly turned horizontally first to one side and then to the other, there was protrusion of the mandible with deviation to the contralateral side. The movement may be associated with depression of the contralateral and raising of the ipsilateral eyebrow. ...

Objectives: Selective orbicularis neuromyectomy for postparetic periocular synkinesis was first reported in 2015. This study aims to statistically evaluate the accumulated outcomes and stability of this treatment.

To cite: Malhotra A. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2013010030 DESCRIPTION Marin-Amat syndrome is a form of acquired facial synkinesis manifesting as involuntary eyelid closure on jaw opening. This often occurs following the aberrant regeneration of the facial nerve after a peripheral facial palsy. It is less recognised form of oculofacial synkine...

Abstract Objective To investigate whether machine learning (ML)‐based algorithms, namely logistic regression (LR), random forest (RF), k‐nearest neighbor (k‐NN), and gradient‐boosting decision tree (GBDT), utilizing early post‐onset parameters can predict facial synkinesis resulting from Bell's palsy or Ramsay Hunt syndrome more accurately than the conventional statistics‐based LR. Methods This...

neurons in the paramedian pontine reticular formation responsible for ipsilateral horizontal saccade and (2) gaze centers playing a role in ipsilateral horizontal smooth pursuit. Both gaze centers project to the ipsilateral abducens nucleus which controls both abducens motor neurons (responsible for ipsilateral eye abduction) and internuclear neurons projecting via the medial lateral fasciculus...

Introduction: Synkinesis and facial asymmetry due to facial nerve palsy are distressing conditions that affect quality of life. Unfortunately, these sequelae of facial nerve palsy are unresolved. The aim of this study was to investigate the efficacy of a combination of biofeedback therapy and botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) injection for the management of synkinesis and asymmetry of facial muscles.  ...

Purpose: Synkinesis results from nerve miswirings and causes aberrant movements of the affected muscles. We present a series cases rare congenital ocular synkinesis involving extraocular muscles levator palpebrae superioris speculate possibility classifying these entities in spectrum cranial dysinnervation disorder. Methods: Records patients with diagnosis were analyzed retrospectively. sex, la...
