Case ReportsCongenital mitochondrial cytopathy and chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia.
Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) encompasses different conditions having in common a slowly progressive external and general ophthalmoplegia. The discovery of CPEO is suggestive of mitochondrial cytopathy, but this is not necessarily so. ⋯ We report here a case, presenting at age 9 months, characterized by bilateral blepharoptosis and partial third nerve oculomotor deficiency, with no nystagmus. Mitochondrial cytopathy was suspected on cranial MRI and confirmed by muscle biopsy. Enzyme studies revealed a defect on the complex I respiratory chain. This case is unique in that the symptoms completely resolved under a Ketogen diet.

ReviewMajor review: ocular sighting dominance: a review and a study of athletic proficiency and eye-hand dominance in a collegiate baseball team.
⋯ The pattern of eye-hand dominance appears related to athletic proficiency for baseball. Warning: Note well: This information may be useful in career guidance but does not justify or medically indicate attempts to alter ocular sighting dominance or eye-hand dominance patterns as these are determined probably genetically or at such an early age that they cannot be successfully altered later. Attempts to so alter them are historically fraught with irremediable psychological or physical injury to the subject, including permanent incapacitating double vision.
