Ocular neuromyotonia.
AIMS/BACKGROUND Ocular neuromyotonia is characterised by spontaneous spasm of extraocular muscles and has been described in only 14 patients. Three further cases, two with unique features, are described, and the underlying mechanism reviewed in the light of recent experimental evidence implicating extracellular potassium concentration in causing spontaneous firing in normal and demyelinated axo...

To the Editors: Myasthenia gravis presents with only ocular symptoms (diplopia, ptosis, and extraocular movement limitation) in approximately 20% of patients.1,2 Ocular myasthenia gravis is to be suspected in patients with intermittent diplopia with ophthalmoplegia that does not correspond to a single ocular motor nerve paresis. However, diplopia in only eccentric sustained gaze in myasthenia g...
متن کاملIdiopathic ocular neuromyotonia: a neurovascular compression syndrome?
Ocular neuromyotonia in the muscles innervated by the right oculomotor nerve was diagnosed in a patient without a history of radiation therapy. Electromyography of the levator palpebrae showed continuous motor unit activity. Brain MRI disclosed a close contact between the right third cranial nerve and a basilar artery dolichoectasia. The patient partly benefited from carbamazepine therapy. This...
متن کامل[A case of Tolosa-Hunt syndrome presenting ocular neuromyotonia].
A 27-year-old woman noticed diplopia when gazing left and paresthesia of the left face and headache of the left side for 8 months. Abduction and supraduction of the left eye were moderately restricted. Hypoesthesia of the face innervated by the ophthalmic branch of the left trigeminal nerve was detected. Visual disturbance due to optic neuropathy developed 5 months later. MRI with gadolinium re...
متن کاملNeuromyotonia.
Neuromyotonia is a rare condition of spontaneous and continuous muscle fibre activity of peripheral nerve origin. It represents the more severe phenotype of peripheral nerve hyperexcitability, and when acquired is often associated with antibodies to voltage-gated potassium channels. There are no specific published electromyographic or clinical diagnostic criteria for this disorder. This review ...
