Abstract

Apraxia of eyelid opening is the incapacity of voluntarily eyelid opening in the absence of motor dysfunction or blepharospasm. It has mostly been described in extrapyramidal diseases and only very rarely in cortical lesions. We report a right-handed patient with a right frontal infarction exhibiting eyelid opening apraxia.
