[Diagnosis and treatment of eye muscle palsies (author's transl)]. 1978

A Huber

After the discussion of the clinical symptomatology of paralytic squint (diplopia, variable angle of squint, compensatory head posture etc.) the importance of modern electromyography for differentiation between myopathy (affection of the eye muscles), myastherias (affection of the neuromuscular transmission) and peripheral neurogenic palsies (affection of the peripheral neuron up to the nuclear region) is discussed. The clinical symptomatology of these affections of different levels is discussed as well as the differential diagnosis. The treatment of eye muscle palsies in principle consists in: 1. medical treatment (local and general), 2. optical treatment (glasses, occlusions, prisms etc.), 3. orthoptic treatment, 4. surgical treatment.

D001763 Blepharoptosis Drooping of the upper lid due to deficient development or paralysis of the levator palpebrae muscle. Ptosis, Eyelid,Blepharoptoses,Eyelid Ptoses,Eyelid Ptosis,Ptoses, Eyelid
D002800 Cholinesterase Inhibitors Drugs that inhibit cholinesterases. The neurotransmitter ACETYLCHOLINE is rapidly hydrolyzed, and thereby inactivated, by cholinesterases. When cholinesterases are inhibited, the action of endogenously released acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses is potentiated. Cholinesterase inhibitors are widely used clinically for their potentiation of cholinergic inputs to the gastrointestinal tract and urinary bladder, the eye, and skeletal muscles; they are also used for their effects on the heart and the central nervous system.
