  • Title: Bilateral ptosis: an atypical presentation of neurocysticercosis.
    Author: Naphade PU, Singh MK, Garg RK, Rai D.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2012 Jul 25; 2012():. PubMed ID: 22843753.
    Abstract:
    Isolated ptosis is a rare presentation of neurocysticercosis (NCC). Here we report the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented with acute onset bilateral symmetrical ptosis with no other neurological deficit. Her imaging revealed a single cystic ring-enhancing lesion with perilesional oedema in the midbrain suggestive of NCC. She responded well to prednisolone.
