title: Two cases of influenza with impaired ocular movement.
abstract: Complications of influenza include respiratory disorders (pneumonia, bronchitis and croup) and occasionally myocarditis, myositis, encephalitis, encephalopathy and Reye's syndrome, which may be life-threatening and cause various sequelae. We report two patients who developed unusual complications of influenza infection: one had ptosis and impaired ocular movement, and the other suffered from Guillain-Barré syndrome with paralysis of the extraocular muscles.
