  • Title: Combined use of neostigmine and ocular motility measurements in the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis.
    Author: Miller NR, Morris JE, Maquire M.
    Journal: Arch Ophthalmol; 1982 May; 100(5):761-3. PubMed ID: 7082206.
    Abstract:
    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.
