Ocular myasthenia: evaluation of Tensilon tonography and electronystagmography as diagnostic tests

Campbell, M. J.

RESUMO

The value of electronystagmography (ENG) and of tonography in monitoring the beneficial effect of edrophonium chloride (Tensilon) on the extraocular muscles in myasthenia gravis has been assessed. Studies were performed on 17 patients with myasthenia gravis and on 18 control subjects, of whom nine had extraocular muscle weakness due to myopathic or neurogenic lesions.
