Abstract
- Various patterns of synkinesis with levator palpebrae have been reported as a phenomenon of the aberrant innervation.Synkinetic levator innervation of extraocular muscles has been reported infrequently.Primary oculomotor synkinesis on attempting to gaze downward and adduction has been once reported to date on a congenital and inherited basis. This report concerns unilateral eyelid retraction induced by depression and adducting eye movement in a 4-year-old girl without any previous oculomotor palsy.
