Ocular pseudomyasthenia: report of a case with a pineal region tumor.

B Fierro1, G Croce, L Filosto, N Carbone, I Lupo.   

Abstract

A case presenting with clinical features of ocular myasthenia and a false-positive edrophonium test is reported. Brain CT and MRI scan revealed a pineal region tumor histologically verified as germinoma. We recommend evaluating patients with clinical features of myasthenia gravis (MG) confined to the ocular muscles for intracranial mass lesions.
