Apraxia of lid opening is alleviated by pallidal stimulation in a patient with Parkinson's disease

S Goto et al. Eur J Neurol. 2000 May.

Abstract

Apraxia of lid opening (ALO) is a syndrome characterized by a non-paralytic inability to open the eyes at will in the absence of visible contraction of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Here we report that globus pallidus internus deep brain stimulation on the right side markedly alleviates ALO as well as gait freezing in a patient with Parkinson's disease.
