Abstract
We examined an 8-year-old girl who had an acquired double elevator palsy and a histopathologically confirmed benign pineocytoma. Mass lesions in the region of the pineal gland can produce monocular blepharoptosis and supranuclear upgaze paresis with the resultant clinical picture of double elevator palsy.
