摘要

Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy (OPMD) presents with ptosis and dysphagia in the fifth or sixth decade of life. The transmission is autosomal dominant, and the course is slowly progressive; patients can go on to develop limb weakness later in the illness. Histology shows rimmed vacuoles and tubulofilamentous inclusions in the nuclei. Treatment is largely supportive.
