Abstract

Scientific Background: Levator palpebrae muscle is known to have a tonic activity which is inhibited in conditions where consciousness is lost. Therefore, there must be a direct relationship between ascending reticular activating system and nucleus of levator palpebrae in brainstem.Objectives: In this study, we have investigated electrophysiological clues related to this hypothesis. Material and Methods: We examined 6 patients with total peripheral-type facial palsy. A needle electromyogram electrode was used to record levator palpebrae muscle activity during median nerve stimulation. While the eyes were open, we stimulated the median nerve at the wrist with 0.5-1 msec. stimuli. We recorded the reflex activity of the levator palpebrae muscle.Results: We report that median stimulation produced a silent period with the duration of 25±4 msec. However, there was no similar silent period in the orbicularis oculi muscle with the stimulation of the median nerve in the normal side.Conclusions: This silent period may be an electrophysiological sign of the relationship between the ascending reticular activating system and the levator palpebrae muscle. Although this pattern was in fact an inhibitory type it could also be a polysynaptic reflex relationship of excitatory type since it leads to inhibition during sleep, as well.

Özet

Levator palpebra kası bilinç bozulduğunda baskılanan tonik aktivitesi olan bir kastır. Dolayısıyla beyin sapında levator palpebra motor nükleusu ile ARAS arasında doğrudan bir ilişkinin bulunması beklenir. . Bu çalışmada levator palpebra motor nükleusu ile ARAS arasındaki dolaylı ilişki araştırılmış ve O.Oculi kasında istemli kas aktivitesi olmayan total periferik fasial paralizili 6 hastada median sinirin bilekten uyarımı ile levator palpebra superior kasından kaydedilen sessiz periyot incelenmiştir. Median sinirin bilekten 0.5-1 msn süreli ağrılı uyarımı ile Levator palpebra kasında ortalama 53±4 msn. de başlayıp 78±3 msn.de sona eren sessiz periyot gözlenmiş ve ortalama 25±4 msn. süren bir baskılanma saptanmıştır. Normal taraftaki Orbikülaris Oküli kasında aynı taraf median sinirin bilekten uyarımında sessiz periyot gözlenmemiştir.Gözlenen bu sessiz periyot Levatör palpebra superior kası ile asandan retiküler formasyon arasındaki ilişkinin elektrofizyolojik dolaylı bir bulgusu olabilir . Bu bulgu inhibitor bir ilişkiye karşılık gelmekle birlikte uykuda inhibe olan polisinaptik eksitatör tipte yol ile de bağıntılı olabilir.
