[Palpebral nystagmus].

A case of palpebral nystagmus is reported. Two infarcts were present in the rostral pons, caudal midbrain and in the periaqueductal gray matter between the red nuclei, ventrally to the posterior commissure. The relationships between the palpebral nystagmus and the retraction of the upper lid together with the clinico-pathological significance of the two signs is discussed.
