Abstract

Blinking reflexes (the glabellar reflex and the reflex to a puff of air) in healthy subjects and in patients with intracranial hemorrhages were investigated electromyographically. Different types of disturbance of the blinking reflexes produced by a lesion of the brain stem were found in the patients: a severe disturbance of reflexes to a puff of air accompanied by mild changes in the glabellar reflexes; a disturbance of the glabellar reflexes accompanied by relatively normal reflexes to a puff of air; almost complete absence of glabellar reflexes and of reflexes to a puff of air.
