Abstract

A 20 years old, male presented to us to have a surgical correction of his ptosis which he had ever since he was born. His mother and two other siblings had a similar condition. Ophthalmological examination revealed 20/100 vision in both eyes which was not improved with glasses, and total external ophthalmoplegia including ptosis and absence of Bell's phenomenon. Nevertheless, pupillary function and accommodation were normal. The surgical correction of the ptosis was not considered.
