Abstract

Eyelid movement is neuroanatomically linked to eye movement, and thus eyelid abnormalities frequently accompany and sometimes precede or overshadow eye movement abnormalities in neurodegenerative disease. In this chapter, we summarize the various eyelid abnormalities that can occur in inherited and acquired neurodegenerative disorders in the context of the neuroanatomic pathways that are affected. The epidemiology and clinical approach to diagnosis and treatment of ptosis, eyelid retraction, abnormal spontaneous and reflexive blinking, blepharospasm, and eyelid apraxia will also be reviewed.
