Combined use of neostigmine and ocular motility measurements in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis
N. R. Miller, J. E. Morris and M. Maquire
Forty-four patients with diplopia caused by myasthenia gravis, ocular
myopathies, and ocular motor nerve palsies underwent complete orthoptic
evaluations before and after intramuscular injection of neostigmine
(Prostigmin) methylsulfate. A test score combining the results of binocular
and uniocular measurements was developed that allowed correct correct
classification of 70% (31) of patients studied.
