Abstract
Single-volume proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy, localized to basal ganglia, was carried out in 10 patients with primary blepharospasm (PB) to assess the levels of N-acetyl aspartate (NAA), creatine-phosphocreatine, and choline-containing compounds. NAA was reduced significantly in patients compared with control subjects. This result suggests a striatal neuronal loss in PB.
