FAMILIAL SYNKINESIS IN OCULO-PALPEBRAL MOVEMENTS

Familial synkinesis in oculo-palpebral movements.

Case 1, a female aged 38 years, had a partial congenital ptosis on the right side and an unduly wide palpebral fissure, amounting to a lid retraction, on the left (Fig. 1). Elevation of the right eye was completely absent and that of the left was markedly restricted (Fig. 2). On looking down, only the left eye moved downwards in a normal manner, while the right eye diverged (Fig. 3). The left u...

Oculo-mandibular synkinesis.

Synkinetic movement of the mandible with ocular movement is a rare anomaly. Carmichael and Critchley (1925) noticed that, when the eyes were rapidly turned horizontally first to one side and then to the other, there was protrusion of the mandible with deviation to the contralateral side. The movement may be associated with depression of the contralateral and raising of the ipsilateral eyebrow. ...

Marcus Gunn phenomenon with paradoxical oculo-palpebral movements.

THE following case of congenital ptosis with Marcus Gunn phenomenon (Gunn, 1883) is interesting because of its unusual association with multiple paradoxical oculo-palpebral movements (Duke-Elder, 1952). Case Report An 18-year-old girl came for cosmetic correction of a congenital ptosis of the right upper lid with alternate divergent strabismus of about 150. The Marcus Gunn phenomenon was also p...

Eye movements in a familial vestibulocerebellar disorder.

Eye movement abnormalities consisting of poor or absent smooth pursuit and vestibulo-ocular reflex suppression, gaze-paretic and rebound nystagmus, slow build-up of optokinetic nystagmus, mildly hyperactive vestibulo-ocular reflex, and a high incidence of strabismus were inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion in 10 members of a non-consanguineous English caucasian family. The onset was in e...
