The nystagmus response evoked by thermic vestibular stimulation on 25 patients with myasthenia gravis and on 10 control persons was investigated using the photoelectronystagmographic method before and after administration of Tensilon. On the basis of 19 nystagmograms (capable of being evaluated) it was found that the test is of diagnostic value when combined with abstinence from drugs, furthermore, it may indicate under- or overtreatment of patients taking drugs. Excluding the drug-resistant, "burned out" cases, a certain correlation may be observed between the magnitude of the reaction evoked by Tensilon and the severity of the clinical condition independent from the existence of ocular symptoms. The advantage of the test, apart from being numerically measurable, is that it can be repeated because of its non-invasive nature causing no physical burden to the patient. Its disadvantage is that it cannot be applied in cases with a pre-existent difference in vestibular tonus - 20% in the material tested.
采用光电子眼震图法，在25例重症肌无力患者和10名对照者身上，于注射腾喜龙前后对热前庭刺激诱发的眼震反应进行了研究。基于19份（可评估的）眼震图发现，该测试与停药相结合时具有诊断价值，此外，它还可以提示正在服药患者的治疗不足或过度治疗情况。排除耐药、“耗竭”病例后，可观察到腾喜龙诱发反应的幅度与临床病情严重程度之间存在一定相关性，且与眼部症状的有无无关。该测试的优点除了可进行数值测量外，还因其非侵入性，不会给患者带来身体负担，故可重复进行。其缺点是，对于前庭张力已有差异的病例（在所测试的材料中占20%）无法应用。
