    • Facial dyskinesias are involuntary movements predominantly or solely affecting the face.
    • These conditions are distinct from, though can overlap with, buccolingual tardive dyskinesia.
    • Understanding facial dyskinesias is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the clinical presentation of common facial dyskinesias.
    • To describe the characteristic features of chorea, dystonia, tremor, and tics in the facial region.
    • To provide an overview of current and emerging therapeutic strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of published studies on facial dyskinesias.
    • Clinical description synthesis of movement disorder phenomenology.

    • Detailed descriptions of chorea, dystonia, tremor, and tics as they manifest facially.
    • Identification of key diagnostic features for differentiating these movement disorders.
    • Discussion of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment options.

    Conclusions:

    • Facial dyskinesias represent a significant group of movement disorders requiring specific diagnostic criteria.
    • Accurate identification of subtypes like chorea, dystonia, tremor, and tics is essential for effective treatment.
