obsolete sensory disorder of eyelid
Description
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are several conditions related to eyelid movement disorders, but one specific condition mentioned is "Apraxia of Eyelid Opening" (AEO). However, I couldn't find any information about an "obsolete sensory disorder of eyelid." It's possible that this term might be a misnomer or not relevant to the search results.
That being said, I can provide some general information on AEO and other related conditions. Apraxia of Eyelid Opening (AEO) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by an inability to voluntarily open one's eyes, despite having normal eyelid muscles and nerves [5][7]. This condition is often associated with other neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease or progressive supranuclear palsy.
Other conditions mentioned in the context include:
- Palpebral ptosis: a rare manifestation of conversion disorder, where there is an acquired drooping of the eyelids [3].
- Apraxia of Lid Opening (ALO): a nonmotor abnormality characterized by difficulty in voluntarily opening one's eyes, without any orbicularis oculi spasm [10].
It's worth noting that these conditions are not necessarily "obsolete," but rather relatively rare and not well-known. If you could provide more context or clarify what you mean by "obsolete sensory disorder of eyelid," I'd be happy to try and assist further.

Signs and Symptoms
Based on the provided context, it appears that you are referring to an outdated or less common condition related to the eyelids. I'll do my best to provide information on this topic.
Apraxia of Eyelid Opening (AEO) is a rare neurological disorder characterized by the intermittent inability to open one's eyes voluntarily [4]. This condition can be caused by various factors, including stroke, aneurysm, or other underlying systemic disorders [15].
Some common manifestations of AEO include:
- Intermittent non-paralytic bilateral loss of the volitional ability to open the eyes
- Sustained eyelid closure
- Ptosis (droopy eyelids) in one or both eyes [3]
It's essential to note that these symptoms can also be associated with other conditions, and a comprehensive evaluation by an eye specialist is necessary for accurate diagnosis.
Other conditions affecting the eyelids
Additionally, there are several other conditions that may affect the eyelids, including:
- Horner Syndrome: characterized by ptosis, miosis (pupil constriction), and anhidrosis (lack of sweating) on one side [8][15]
- Graves' eye disease: can cause dry, red, irritated eyes, bulging eyes, and shortened eyelids that won't close all the way [5]
Please keep in mind that these conditions are not obsolete sensory disorders but rather specific conditions affecting the eyelids.

Additional Symptoms
- Bulging eyes
- Intermittent non-paralytic bilateral loss of the volitional ability to open the eyes
- Sustained eyelid closure
- Ptosis (droopy eyelids) in one or both eyes
- Ptosis, miosis (pupil constriction), and anhidrosis (lack of sweating) on one side
- Dry, red, irritated eyes
- Shortened eyelids that won't close all the way
Diagnostic Tests
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are several diagnostic tests that can be used to diagnose a sensory disorder of the eyelid. Here are some of the diagnostic tests mentioned:
- Electromyography (EMG): This test can objectively characterize the muscle involvement in apraxia of lid opening (ALO) or apraxia of eyelid opening (AEO). However, it is rarely performed in clinical practice [3].
- Voluntary Lid Opening Test: This is a simple test where the patient closes their lids and attempts to open them on cue. It is used as a primary test to diagnose AEO [2].
- Neurological Examination: A complete neurological examination should be conducted, including an assessment of visual sensory function, ocular motility, and alignment [4].
- Imaging Studies: These can help make an accurate diagnosis by ruling out other conditions that may cause similar symptoms.
- Electrophysiological Testing: This can also help in making an accurate diagnosis.
It's worth noting that the differential diagnosis for blepharospasm includes several conditions, such as Meige syndrome, myokymia, apraxia of eyelid opening, hemifacial spasm, tardive dyskinesia, and tic disorders (e.g., Tourette syndrome) [7].
In terms of functional eyelid disorders, a detailed examination of the eyelids should be conducted, with the examiner noting any abnormalities or asymmetries. This may be supplemented by specific diagnostic tests to differentiate ALO from other conditions [5].

Treatment
Based on the provided context, it appears that there are various treatment options for different conditions related to the eyelid. However, I couldn't find any specific information on a "sensory disorder of eyelid" being an obsolete condition.
But, I did find some relevant information in search result 9:
- Artificial tears with a demulcent (e.g., methylcellulose, propylene glycol, and glycerin) are a mainstay of treatment for patients with sensory disorders related to the eyelid. [9]
- Patients should use preservative-free artificial tears to avoid irritating their eyes further. [9]
It's worth noting that search result 10 mentions "sensory disorder of eyelid" as a professional guideline, but it doesn't provide any specific treatment information.
If you're looking for more information on this topic or would like me to clarify anything, please let me know!

Differential Diagnosis
Based on the provided context, it appears that you are looking for information on the differential diagnosis of an obsolete sensory disorder related to the eyelid.
The search results suggest that there are various conditions that can affect the eyelid and its surrounding structures. Some of these conditions include:
- Ptosis: A decrease in the eyelid opening, or palpebral aperture (resulting from a lack of normal opening of the upper eyelid, resulting in its downward drooping) [10]
- Blepharoptosis: The downward displacement of the upper eyelid caused by a dysfunction of the eyelid elevator [13]
However, upon reviewing the search results, it seems that there is no specific information on an "obsolete sensory disorder" related to the eyelid. It's possible that this term may be outdated or not commonly used in modern medical literature.
That being said, some conditions that can affect the eyelid and its surrounding structures include:
- Conversion disorder: A condition where patients present with symptoms such as drooping of the upper eyelid (ptosis) without any underlying organic cause [1]
- Apraxia of eyelid opening: A condition characterized by the intermittent non-paralytic bilateral loss of the volitional ability to open the eyes or sustained eyelid closure [4]
If you could provide more context or clarify what you mean by "obsolete sensory disorder," I may be able to provide a more accurate and helpful response.
