AbstractWe report a patient with Lance-Adams syndrome, in whom a characteristic blinking response was observed. In this patient, the reflex blinking was elicited by electrical stimulations applied not only to the supraorbital nerve but also to peripheral nerves of both upper and lower extremities. The EMG discharges responsible for the blinking response were found to consist of some components. The pathophysiological mechanism underlying the characteristic blinking response was discussed. It is speculated that increased excitabilities of the brainstem reticular formation may play a role in generating this type of blinking response, namely the somatosensory-evoked blink response.
