Abstract	ABSTRACT Transient traumatic neurogenic ptosis is a self-limited ptosis which recovers with conservative management or observation. The authors report the case of an 8-year old boy who was seen following contusion to the upper eyelid. Ptosis with no levator function, consistent with loss of innervation was present following complete resolution of initial eyelid oedema. Ptosis improved after 2 weeks. With patching of the contralateral eye, complete recovery was present after the 4 th week. The indication for ptosis surgery in post traumatic ptosis should be delayed to give room for spontaneous recovery in the case of a transient neurogenic form. RESUME Le ptosis neurogene post traumatique transitoire est un ptosis qui guerit spontanement. Les auteurs rapportent le cas d’un garcon de 8 ans victime d’une contusion de la paupiere superieure droite. Apres resorption de l’œdeme, on note une paralysie complete du releveur de la paupiere superieure. Une regression spontanee est notee apres 2 semaines. La remission complete est obtenue apres occlusion de l’œil adelphe, 4 semaines apres le debut de la symptomatologie. Dans un cas de ptosis neurogene transitoire, la remission en general spontanee doit faire differer toute chirurgie du ptosis.
