[A case of ophthalmic manifestations in progressive muscular dystrophy].

A case of bilateral eyelid ptosis was observed in a woman aged 35. She had also some weakness of the muscles of the upper extremities and periodic dysphagia. These symptoms progressed gradually during 20 years. The clinical manifestations and the results of other investigations (EMG, muscle biopsy) made possible the diagnosis of sporadic ophthalmic form of progressive muscular dystrophy.
