A 57-year-old man had trigeminal schwannoma in Meckel's cave with eyelid myokymia only. The evaluation of the trigeminal-evoked blink reflex was useful for confirming eyelid myokymia and contributed to surgical decision-making. In patients with persistent eyelid myokymia, neurophysiological and imaging evaluations may be useful for determining the underlying pathophysiology.
