ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of low-frequency repetitive nerve stimulation (RNS) in patients with ocular myasthenia gravis(MG).Methods The clinical data of the low-frequency RNS of 54 in-patients with ocular MG were analyzed.Results The positive rate of low-frequency RNS was 53.7% in 54 patients.The abnormal rate of the facial nerve and the proximal limb nerve was significantly higher than that of low limb distal nerve.The differences were statistically significant(x2 =6.783,P =0.009;x2 =4.167,P =0.041).In all the examined nerves,the abnormal rate of right facial nerve was the highest(46.3%),and the lowest on the ulnar nerve(11.1%).The abnormal rate was statistically significant in all these nerves (x2 =21.995,P =0.001).Conclusion Low-frequency RNS plays an important role in the diagnosis of ocular MG,and the facial nerve should be the first choice in this examination.
