Abstract Apraxia of eyelid opening is the inability to voluntarily open the eyes in the absence of motor dysfunction or blepharospasm. It has been described mostly in association with extrapyramidal diseases and only rarely in cortical lesions. We report a right-handed woman with a right subcortical...

Description
Summary:Abstract Apraxia of eyelid opening is the inability to voluntarily open the eyes in the absence of motor dysfunction or blepharospasm. It has been described mostly in association with extrapyramidal diseases and only rarely in cortical lesions. We report a right-handed woman with a right subcortical lesion due to borderzone infarction showing eyelid opening apraxia.
