A 4-year-old boy was referred for blepharoptosis. Examination revealed the presence of oculomotor-abducens synkinesis (right upper eyelid elevation with right gaze). Reports of congenital oculomotor-abducens synkinesis syndromes are rare. Two surgeries required more levator resection than anticipated to obtain the first, to our knowledge, reported successful result in this condition.
