Background: Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia is a descriptive term for a group of hereditary myopathies affecting extraocular muscles. Minimum prevalence of CPEO is about 1 in 30,000 of general population. It can occur with isolated oculomotor symptoms or in conjunction with other systemic findings. Purpose: To report a case series of Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia with varied presentations and associations. Method: Retrospective case series of five cases diagnosed with Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia with review of clinical aspects of each of the cases. Results: While there is no definitive cure for CPEO, control of symptoms can markedly improve patient’s quality of life. Referral for management of concomitant neurologic or cardiac disease is indicated.
