Miller-Fisher syndrome (MFS) is characterized by the three major components of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia, and areflexia. The occurrence of MFS is relatively uncommon because of its monophasic nature, while recurrent Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is a well-known condition. The pharyngeal-cervical-brachial (PCB) variant is a scarce variant of GBS (3%), which presents with muscle weakness initially involving the neck, oropharynx, and upper extremities.

Congenital cranial dysinnervation disorders involve abberant connections between cranial nerves, often resulting in synkinetic activation of target muscles. Marcus-Gunn jaw winking ptosis and Duane retraction syndrome are some of the more well-known examples of this phenomenon. We present serial video of a child with congenital trigemino-abducens synkinesis, a lesser known congenital cranial dysinnervation disorder, to demonstrate the characteristics of this likely under-diagnosed presentation.

Background: Ptosis surgery is common in oculoplastics, and its most threatening complication is corneal ulceration. Several factors have been associated with postoperative corneal disorders, such as the strength of the orbicularis muscle, the type of surgery performed, and the Bell's phenomenon reflex (BPR). The goal of this study was to investigate the prevalence of physiological BPR, absence of BPR, and presence of inverse BP in patients undergoing surgery for aponeurotic ptosis.
