Ptosis occurs in a variety of disorders including myasthenia gravis, oculomotor palsy, Horner's syndrome and brain stem disorders. There are also supranuclear lesions causing blepharoptosis. The latter disorders are reflex blepharospasm, apraxia of eyelid opening and Meige's syndrome. Since the total number of bilateral ptosis associated with cerebral hemispheric lesions is very few, whether the responsible lesions are located in the nondominant hemisphere or bilateral hemispheres are still controversial. We report here a case of bilateral cerebral ptosis that occurred in association with cerebral infarction of the nondominant hemisphere.
