Meige's syndrome vs Meig's syndrome

Meige's syndrome (see video below)
A duet of:
1. blepharospasm
2. oromandibular dystonia (OMD)

Meig's syndrome:
A triad consisting of:
1. pleural effusion
2. ascites

Hippus: athetosis of the pupillary muscles (see below_
Hippus may be normal (physiological) but it may also be pathological, usually due to aconite poisoning (aconitum is a plant genus, a buttercup i think. not good with flowers)
