Right Answer: Marcus Gunn Jaw-Winking Syndrome

Diagnosis

Marcus Gunn Jaw-Winking Syndrome is a rare congenital synkinetic movement disorder caused by miswiring of the oculomotor (CN III) and trigeminal (CN V) nerves. It presents as unilateral ptosis that improves when the patient moves their jaw (e.g., chewing or opening the mouth). Diagnosis is clinical, based on characteristic jaw-induced eyelid elevation.

Therapy & Treatment

Mild cases require no treatment. Severe cases with significant ptosis or amblyopia may need ptosis surgery (levator excision or frontalis sling) to improve function. Eye patching is recommended in children with amblyopia. Neurological assessment ensures no other cranial nerve abnormalities.
