We performed frontalis suspension in 12 patients presenting with essential blepharospasm or "apraxia" of eyelid opening who did not respond sufficiently to botulinum toxin injections. An improvement could be observed in 9 patients. During the follow-up period (4-18 months) the effect of surgical intervention remained stable. As opposed to other surgical procedures (excision of the orbicularis muscle, resection of facial nerve branches), frontalis suspension can be considered as a minimally invasive and even reversible treatment.
我们对12例患有特发性睑痉挛或眼睑睁开“失用症”且对肉毒杆菌毒素注射反应欠佳的患者进行了额肌悬吊术。9例患者病情有所改善。在随访期（4 - 18个月）内，手术干预的效果保持稳定。与其他外科手术（眼轮匝肌切除术、面神经分支切除术）不同，额肌悬吊术可被视为一种微创甚至可逆的治疗方法。
