چکیده
PURPOSE To report the association of Marcus Gunn jaw-winking phenomenon and pseudo inferior oblique overaction. METHODS Case report. RESULTS A 21-year-old woman presented with right eyelid elevation on the chewing movement since infancy. Examination showed that both Marcus Gunn jaw-winking phenomenon and pseudo inferior oblique overaction coexist in this patient. CONCLUSION The association of Marcus Gunn jaw winking and pseudo inferior oblique overaction in one patient is reported. This coexistence in our case may provide some support to the existing concept that both phenomena are caused by an ocular aberrant innervation.
