Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Neurology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Marcus-Gunn syndrome is a rare congenital neurological disorder characterized by unilateral congenital blepharoptosis and synkinetic "jaw-winking."
  • This condition results from aberrant innervation between the trigeminal and oculomotor nerves.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 12-year-old female patient presenting with unilateral Marcus-Gunn syndrome.
  • The patient exhibited classic symptoms including unilateral eyelid ptosis and abnormal eyelid elevation synchronized with jaw movements.

Findings:

  • Detailed clinical presentation of the Marcus-Gunn syndrome in the reported patient.
  • Discussion of the underlying pathogenesis, likely related to abnormal neural connections.

Implications:
