A false-positive edrophonium test in a patient with a brainstem glioma.

L Y Dirr1, P D Donofrio, J F Patton, B T Troost.   

Abstract

We report a photographically documented false-positive edrophonium test in a patient with a histologically verified brainstem glioma. While a positive response to intravenous edrophonium should usually be regarded as confirmatory for myasthenia gravis, the possibility of a false-positive test must be considered in patients with atypical physical findings.
