title: Bilateral ptosis in a child following massive attack by a swarm of wasps.
abstract: Neurological manifestations of wasp sting are rare and the etiopathogenesis is not completely understood. We report a 2-year-old girl who developed bilateral ptosis after multiple wasp stings, which responded partially to pyridostigmine. This is the first reported case of wasp venom-induced ptosis in a child. We discuss the possible pathogenetic mechanisms behind this phenomenon.
