ABSTRACT This paper presents three cases of congenital fibrosis syndrome. All of them have congenital ptosis and abnormal ocular motility without any apparent causes. The contractile tissue of the muscles is believed to be replaced by fibrosis tissue without any known mechanism. Given that it is a rare condition, this paper introduces these cases since the principle of treatment is not as straight forward as other motility problems. In addition, this paper also reviews literature on congenital fibrosis syndrome.
