An ocular motility conundrum.

Elizabeth Margaret McElnea1, Kirk Stephenson1, Bernie Lanigan1, Ian Flitcroft1.   

Abstract

Two siblings, an 11-year-old boy and a 7-year-old girl presented with bilateral symmetrical ptosis and limited eye movements. Having already been reviewed on a number of occasions by a variety of specialists in multiple hospital settings a diagnosis of their ocular motility disorder had remained elusive. We describe their cases, outline the differential diagnosis and review the investigations performed which were influential in finally making a diagnosis. 2014 BMJ Publishing Group Ltd.
