    Abstract:
    Three cases of Meige syndrome with severe bilateral facial spasm were reported. All patients suffered from abnormal facial movement characterized by blepharospasm and oromandibular dystonia, and had atrophic changes of bilateral basal ganglia which were recognized by brain CT scan. Bilateral facial nerve block at the foramen stylomastoideum was applied to those three patients. Excellent results were obtained by this block technique in all the patients. The technique is not so sophisticated and is recommended for the treatment of the patient with Meige's syndrome.
