Acquired double elevator palsy in a child with a pineocytoma.
OBJECTIVE
We examined an 8-year-old girl who had an acquired double elevator palsy and a histopathologically confirmed benign pineocytoma.


CONCLUSIONS
Mass lesions in the region of the pineal gland can produce monocular blepharoptosis and supranuclear upgaze paresis with the resultant clinical picture of double elevator palsy.
