At the ophthalmological examination, it is noted that both upper eyelids fall at the level of the middle third of the pupil area; low insertion of the upper outer canthal edge of both upper eyelids, abundant tearing and ocular secretions; Small myopia and slight bilateral amblyopia. It was also observed postural disorders due to elevation of the chin to look. Valued by Neurology, neurological cause of ptosis was ruled out.
