title: Ptosis associated with sinusitis.
abstract: An adolescent male developed eye pain and a drooping lid. Imaging revealed adjacent pansinusitis and a swollen levator palpebrae and superior rectus muscle. Compression of a branch of the oculomotor nerve is the postulated cause because vertical eye movements were normal.
