Abstract:
The authors encountered 2 siblings who showed progressive ophthalmoplegia and bulbar palsy. The patients were studied with various laboratory aids and thought to be as oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. The oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is a rare form of muscular dystrophy. The authors present the cases as familial oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy.
