title: [Trial and temptation in the interpretation of accommodative paralysis as a psychosomatic manifestation].
abstract: An adolescent, presented during 24 months an intermittent bilateral accommodation palsy. All the clinical tests were negative; a few peculiar aspects of the patient's character incited us to carry out, in parallel, a psychological research. The young man proved to be a mixed introvert, with Oedipal and familial problems. The assumption that accommodation palsy could have a psychological--although objectively unprovable motivation--is not in contradiction with the psychological research.
