Extraocular muscle weakness is the most common presenting sign of myasthenia gravis (MG). More than half of patients presenting with symptoms isolated to these muscles (OMG) develop generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG) over the course of their illness. No clinical, laboratory, or electrophysiological
Voluntary and stimulation single-fiber electromyography were performed in the extensor digitorum communis muscle of 15 myasthenic patients. The increase in mean and individual mean consecutive difference as well as the proportion of blocking in the volitional activation were greater than in the stim
## Abstract We examined the findings from singleβfiber electromyography in extensor digitorum communis (EDC) and orbicularis oculi (OOc) in 13 myasthenia gravis (MG) patients with muscleβspecific kinase antibodies (MuSKβMG) and 12 MG patients with acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChRβMG) with si
