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. This represents a unique case of congenital Marcus Gunn jaw winking with trigemino-oculomotor synkinesis involving the inferior branch of the oculomotor nerve.
