OCULOMOTOR-ABDUCENS SYNKINESIS
This disease is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by a specific anomaly of extraocular muscle movements involving the oculomotor nerve (cranial nerve III) and the abducens nerve (cranial nerve VI). Affected individuals show ptosis as well as elevation of the eyelid on ipsilateral abduction. The features indicate abnormal innervation of extraocular muscles and suggest synkinesis of the oculomotor and abducens nerves.
