Abstract
The aim of this paper is to make a Clinical presentation of a rare case of Markus Gunn Syndrome.
A 10 month old female baby, was examined at the Department of Strabology at the University Eye
Clinic in Skopje, by the ophthalmologist after the pediatric examination. On the physical examination it was
noticed that rhythmic elevation of the right mild ptosis constantly occurred when the child sucked on a pacifier.
The eyes were in orthophoria in the primary position. All other ophthalmological-orthoptics, neuropediatrics and
laboratory investigation were in normal range.
Establish differential diagnosis from other, more severe forms of ptosis, requiring more aggressive
treatment, especially if the ptosis is connected with the jaw movement and the ptosis improve with sucking,
chewing or other mouth movement.
