Abstract
A 55-year-old Hispanic man born in New Mexico presented with progressively worsening bilateral upper eyelid ptosis and dysphagia. External levator advancement 5 years before did not improve his ptosis. A thorough systemic workup for myasthenia gravis was negative, but electromyography suggested a myopathic process. Molecular genetic testing was positive for oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy.
