    Abstract:
    One case of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is reported, in a 75 year old white male with manifest family history of palpebral ptosis. He displayed bilateral ptosis and dysphagia. Diagnosis was carried out after clinical, electrical and bioptic procedures. Data obtained have been discussed with previous reports in the literature. It was necessary to perform a cricopharyngeal myotomy to overcome the malnutrition secondary to his swallowing problem.
