چکیده
SINCE the jaw-winking phenomenon was first described by Marcus Gunn (1863), many such cases with other associated findings have been reported. Falls, Krause, and Cotterman (1949) reviewed 115 cases, Simpson (1956) published a comprehensive study, and Dhir and Agarwal (1961) reported a case following ptosis surgery. This case is reported because of an associated peculiarity which does not appear to have been mentioned in the literature.
