Complete Ophthalmoplegia as a Complication of Acute Corticosteroid-and Pancuronium-Associated Myopathy
Neurol 41:921-922, Sitwell,L.D.,et al, 1991
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
We report acute complete external ophthalmoplegia and severe myopathy in a patient treated with high doses of IV methylprednisolone and pancuronium. Awareness of this rare syndrome in a common clinical setting can lead to prompt recognition and avoid confusion with other causes of acute weakness and ophthalmoparesis.
