Retrospective examinations comprised 26 patients with idiopathic, spastic blepharospasm, who received injections of botulinum A toxin subcutaneously or into orbicular muscle of eye. In 6 cases complete recovery was achieved. In all patients, symptoms subsided for a mean period of 12.5 weeks. These results are similar to those described earlier in literature.

Three members of a family in one generation were affected by a pattern dystrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium. The patients present typical hyperpigmented macular RPE lesions in a butterfly-shaped to (macro-)reticular pattern, and were all asymptomatic. Examination of 26 family members in 3 generations suggests autosomal recessive inheritance. The family showed some cases of congenital deutanomaly, and a female subject presented both disorders.
