Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) is a rare progressive disease characterized by bilateral ptosis and dysphagia. A case report of a patient of French-Canadian descent is presented. The importance of OPMD is emphasized, not only in its differential of ptosis, but also because of the possible sequella from the dysphagia of weight loss, pulmonary infection, choking and tracheal aspiration.
眼咽型肌营养不良症（OPMD）是一种罕见的进行性疾病，其特征为双侧上睑下垂和吞咽困难。本文报告了一例法裔加拿大患者的病例。强调了OPMD的重要性，不仅在于其对上睑下垂的鉴别诊断，还在于吞咽困难可能导致体重减轻、肺部感染、窒息和气管误吸等后遗症。
