| chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia | A specific type of slowly worsening weakness of the ocular muscles, usually associated with a pigmentary retinopathy. See: Kearns-Sayre syndrome, oculopharyngeal dystrophy. Synonym: ocular myopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |

| nuclear ophthalmoplegia | Ophthalmoplegia due to a lesion of the nuclei of origin of the motor nerves of the eye. (05 Mar 2000) |
| internal ophthalmoplegia | Paralysis affecting only the sphincter muscle of the pupil and the ciliary muscle. Synonym: internal ophthalmoplegia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ophthalmoplegia | Paralysis of the ocular muscles, innervated by the oculomotor, trochlear, and abducens nerves. (12 Dec 1998) |
