Summary

Kawasaki disease is an acute febrile exanthematous disease that affects children younger than 5 years of age. It is regarded as the most common cause of childhood acquired heart disease, but ocular and neurological problems are among the other important clinical findings. We present a 3-year-old boy who developed bilateral ptosis on day 21, 5 days after intravenous immunoglobulin. The ptosis was due to bilateral paralysis of the levator palpebrae superioris muscles and resolved spontaneously on day 25. There were no cardiac sequelae.
