International audience. INTRODUCTION:Mild ophthalmoparesis can be seen in oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD).METHODS:Orthoptic analysis included assessment of phoria/tropia, eye excursion, saccades, pursuit, stereoacuity, and Hess-Lancaster screen test. Video-oculography included fixation, horizontal and vertical saccades, and pursuit.RESULTS:Orthoptic abnormalities were: tropia (4 of 6); abnormal eye excursion (4 of 6, 78% involved lateral or superior rectus muscles); abnormal horizontal or vertical saccades (2 of 6); abnormal pursuit (0 of 6); abnormal stereoacuity (2 of 6); and pathological Hess-Lancaster screen (4 of 6). Video-oculographic abnormalities were present for: fixation (1 of 6); saccade latency (1 of 6); horizontal pursuit (3 of 6); and vertical pursuit (0 of 6). For horizontal saccades, mean velocity, peak velocity, and gain were pathological in 5 of 6, 5 of 6 (61% of pathological mean and peak velocities involved abducting eye movements), and 3 of 6, respectively. For vertical saccades, mean velocity, peak velocity, and gain were pathological in 4 of 6, 4 of 6 (53% involved upward movements), and 3 of 6, respectively.CONCLUSION:The data indicate preferential involvement of lateral and (to a lesser degree) superior rectus muscles in OPMD.
