Abstract :
Mitochondria myopathies have a variable clinical presentation and CPEO(chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia) is the hallmark which should alert the clinician to this diagnosis. Herein we report a-40-year old lady with progressive ptosis without diplopia and without any similar family history who was diagnosed as having a mitochondrial myopathy and given supportive therapy.
