title: [Progressive nuclear external ophthalmoplegia].
abstract: 66-year-old female patient presents palpebral bilateral ptosis and external ophthalmoplegia with a progressive evolution. The clinical aspects are completed with the affectation of the sensitive and motor trigemen, with the masseter atrophy and bilateral trophic keratitis. The affectation of the facial and acoustic nerves was associated with bilateral perception surditate. The hereditary transmission was dominant, with incomplete penetration. The neurogenic pathogeny was sustained on the basis of the association of neurological multilesions with III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII nerves, with progressive extension.
