Diplopia progressed to complete ptosis

Ten weeks later after initial diplopia presentation the patient’s condition had progressed to include left ptosis, complete anesthesia of the entire left face and cornea, internal and external ophthalmoplegia of the left eye, left peripheral facial palsy, left-sided deafness, and partial paralysis of the soft palate and tongue on the left. Notice the obvious complete ptosis on the left, as well as more subtle lessening of forehead wrinkles on the left, and a slightly decreased corner of the mouth on that side. (Source: Yaver S.
