Apraxia of eyelid opening (AEO) is occasionally seen in Parkinson's disease (PD) or related diseases. However, many clinicians have trouble with the management of AEO by Parkinsonism. In this report, we describe a case of AEO in Parkinsonism improved by trihexyphenidyl (THP). The patient was a 64-year-old woman, who was previously healthy but developed bradykinesia. She was clinically diagnosed as PD due to an L-dopa challenge test, but no other detailed tests were performed. She started antiparkinsonian medications and her symptoms were improved at an early phase. However, her motor symptoms were gradually exacerbated over time, and antiparkinsonian medications were dosed up. At 69 years old, blepharospasm and AEO developed. Although other antiparkinsonian medications did not improve her AEO, THP cured AEO dramatically at 73 years old. In this report, we discuss a mechanism of AEO by Parkinsonism and the pathway of THP for the improvement of AEO.
