Abstract

Background and Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the contribution of extraocular muscle function testing with video-oculography (VOG), which is a noninvasive and easily applicable method of recording eye movement with digital cameras, to the diagnosis of myasthenia gravis (MG) in patients without any clinical eye movement abnormalities.
