Abstract
• Severe, involuntary, forceful closure of both eyelids, along with dystonia and rigidity, followed hypoxic encephalopathy in a young man whose computed tomographic scan showed symmetric infarcts of the corpus striatum. Symptomatic blepharospasm can result from bilateral damage to the basal ganglia.Keywords
