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

The concomitant intravenous administration of Tensilon during tonography was performed on a group of 15 myasthenic patients and ten "control" subjects, including patients with oculoparesis of known cause other than myasthenia. The myasthenic group uniformly responded with increases of intraocular pressure. There was no instance of this response in nonmyasthenic subjects when challenged with Ten...
متن کاملDiagnosis of Tensilon-Negative Ocular Myasthenia Gravis By Daily Selfie.

The diagnosis is often confirmed by testing for anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies or by observing the effects of intravenous edrophonium (Tensilon) injection. However, these standard tests may be negative in patients with isolated ocular findings. We present the case of an 83-year-old woman with negative serologic a...
