Kassem IS et al. - The authors describe a case of eyelid elevation associated with simultaneous adduction and depression of the eye upon chewing, sucking on a bottle, or wide opening of the mouth since birth.

The most likely explanation for these abnormal movements is prenatal aberrant innervation of eyelid and extraocular muscles.
