Abstract

Sirs: One of the unique clinical signs of ocular myasthenia gravis (MG) is that saccade velocities re- main unimpaired despite a reduced range of movement. In addition, small amplitude saccades may be hypermetric with high velocities appearing clinically as “quiver” movements which are thought to be characteristic of MG [1, 7].
