Abstract
- A 22 days old newborn infant with left total ophthalmoplegia involving manifestations of palpebral ptosis was examined and treated. An arachnoid cyst located in the temporo-parietal lobe as the very rare incidence of etiological lesion was detected on brain C/T. Following the successful cystoperitoneal shunt, the ophthalmoplegia improved clinically.
