Abstract: Let $(V,Om)$ be a symplectic vector space and let $phi:MaV$ be a symplectic immersion. We show that $phi(M)subsetV$ is (locally) an extrinsic symplectic symmetric space (e.s.s.s.) in the sense of cite{CGRS} if and only if the second fundamental form of $phi$ is parallel. Furthermore, we show that any symmetric space which admits an immersion as an e.s.s.s. also admits a {em full} such immersion, i.e., such that $phi(M)$ is not contained in a proper affine subspace of $V$, and this immersion is unique up to affine equivalence. Moreover, we show that any extrinsic symplectic immersion of $M$ factors through to the full one by a symplectic reduction of the ambient space. In particular, this shows that the full immersion is characterized by having an ambient space $V$ of minimal dimension.
