Although pathological changes are observed in both the oculomotor nucleus and abducens nucleus in autopsied cases of infantile progressive spinal muscular atrophy, external and internal ocular palsy and ptosis have not been previously reported clinically. We presented here two long-surviving cases on respirators which gradually developed ophthalmoplegia and ptosis were presented. From our observation of these cases, it was suggested that there are certain periods of latencies between the occurrence of pathological changes and their clinical manifestation and that the lack of clinical signs of upper cranial nerve involvement in cases with Werdnig-Hoffmann type I is due to their short survival length.
