Marcus-gunn phenomenon with- mitral valve prolapse
Authors
Abstract:
Marcus-gunn phenomenon is a congenital and sometimes hereditary anomaly, in which a ptotic eyelid retracts momentarily when the mouth is open, or the jaw is moved. These associated movements attributed to abnormal connections between the central mechanisms innervating the pterygoid and elevator muscles. Sometimes this anomaly is associated with dual,s retraction syndrome, duplex kindneys and ureters. This case is a report of an association between mitral valve prolapse and marcus-gunn phenomenon.

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...

The phenomenon is normally unilateral, but bilateral cases are not unknown. Its exact etiology is not known. We report a case of bilateral Marcus Gunn phenomenon. The ptosis is secondary to a conflict between the o...

THE Marcus Gunn phenomenon is a well-known clinical entity wherein abnormal palpebral movements are associated with movements of the jaw. No record has been found in the literature of a case in which an associated concomitant convergent strabismus corrected itself automatically with the elevation of the ipsilateral ptotic lid when the jaw was opened or when ptosis was passively or surgically co...

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...
