Background:

Progressive external ophthalmoplegia is a rare hereditary condition affecting eye muscles. Initial onset of this condition shows eyelid drooping and progressive loss of muscle movement within the eye. Affected individuals may have to use head movements to change visual direction. Furthermore, this condition may have general muscle weakness, ataxia and/or hearing loss. This condition shows an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive pattern.
