Abstrakt		The neuro-ophthalmological manifestations of 20 patients with the syndrome of opthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia are described. The symmetrical nature of the ophthalmoplegia and the associated cerebellar ataxia point to centrally placed lesions. Several supranuclear, nuclear and internuclear ophthalmological signs are identified. Some of these, like partial sparing of the levator palpebrae and normal downgaze in the presence of sevre opthalmoplegia are noted too frequently to be just unusual signs of peripheral oculomotor dysfunction. Other identified features included upper lid retraction on attempted upgaze and preserved Bell's phenomenon in the presence of paralysis of the latter, as well as several other central opthalmological signs. These findings contrast with those seen in the Gullain-Barre syndrome and, thus, the syndrome of ophthalmoplegia, ataxia and areflexia is not a mere variant of it.
