Summary A case of localized scleroderma ‘en coup de sabre’ in the right side of the front associated with myopathy of external eye muscles (levator palpebrae and rectus superior) at the same line is reported. It is discussed whether a predisposition to the disease might be laid down in the mesenchyme in early foetal life before the differentiation of the anatomical structures.
