Awakening Ptosis: A Clinical Review

Pages 26-31 | Received 11 Oct 2017, Accepted 05 May 2018, Published online: 13 Jun 2018
 

ABSTRACT

A rare condition characterized by a transient inability to open one or both eyes upon awakening from sleep was first described in 1897. Although less than a handful of papers have been written about this condition since its initial description, a well-defined clinical entity emerges from the available literature. This article reviews the history and clinical features of this unusual condition.
