title: [Plus-minus eyelid syndrome of vascular origin].
abstract: The association of unilateral ptosis and contralateral palpebral retraction named as "palpebral plus-minus syndrome" by Gaynard et al is an infrequent finding. Most cases described are of peripheral origin and secondary to muscle pathology or neuromuscular union. Cases secondary to central lesions are exceptional. We present the case of a female patient who developed palpebral plus-minus syndrome as a result of a vascular lesion with presumably mesencephalic localization.
