  • Title: Ptosis as a complication of Kawasaki disease.
    Author: Hameed A, Alshara H, Schleussinger T.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2017 Jun 09; 2017():. PubMed ID: 28601797.
    Abstract:
    Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile exanthematous disease that affects children younger than 5 years of age. It is regarded as the most common cause of childhood acquired heart disease, but ocular and neurological problems are among the other important clinical findings. We present a 3-year-old boy who developed bilateral ptosis on day 21, 5 days after intravenous immunoglobulin. The ptosis was due to bilateral paralysis of the levator palpebrae superioris muscles and resolved spontaneously on day 25. There were no cardiac sequelae.
