A T1weighted image on the coronal plane (B) shows the Same lesions conilned to the thalamus. In summary, this report documents the association of isolated thalamic lesions and the presence of blepharospasm as a clinical manifestation and further supports the role that thalamus may have in the pathophysiology of dystonia.

Segment 2. This segment demonstrates the relief of the dystonia after using botulinum toxin.
