Abstract
In a group of 60 patients, of which 30 were affected by myasthenia, the regional curare test was used. The results were evaluated from a critical point of view and were then compared with the results obtained by the repetitive stimulation of the circumflex nerve, deriving from deltoid muscle. The specificity of the regional curare test for the evaluation of ocular myasthenia was considered.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
