Hi. My mother has had Parkinson's disease now for about 15 yrs and during the last 3 - 4 yrs she has developed an incresingly debilitating blepharospasm, worse in the right eye. Botulinum toxin injections were tried, also to the pretarsal area, without improvement. She had an MRI scan which showed a few old infarcts in the brain but these did not seem to explain the spasm. I was wondering if either doxorubicin injections or surgery would be of any potential benefit to her. Would the surgery involve GA?
