For the vast majority of individuals with typical OPMD, the mean age of onset of ptosis is usually 48 years and of dysphagia 50 years; in 5%-10% of individuals with severe OPMD, onset of ptosis and dysphagia occur before age 45 years and is associated with lower limb girdle weakness starting around age 60 years. Swallowing difficulties, which determine prognosis, increase the risk for potentially life-threatening aspiration pneumonia and poor nutrition. Other manifestations as the disease progresses can include limitation of upward gaze, tongue atrophy and weakness, chewing difficulties, wet voice, facial muscle weakness, axial muscle weakness, and proximal limb girdle weakness predominantly in lower limbs. Some individuals with severe involvement will eventually need a wheelchair. Neuropsychological tests have shown altered scores in executive functions in some." /><meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow,noarchive" />

For the vast majority of individuals with typical OPMD, the mean age of onset of ptosis is usually 48 years and of dysphagia 50 years; in 5%-10% of individuals with severe OPMD, onset of ptosis and dysphagia occur before age 45 years and is associated with lower limb girdle weakness starting around age 60 years. Swallowing difficulties, which determine prognosis, increase the risk for potentially life-threatening aspiration pneumonia and poor nutrition. Other manifestations as the disease progresses can include limitation of upward gaze, tongue atrophy and weakness, chewing difficulties, wet voice, facial muscle weakness, axial muscle weakness, and proximal limb girdle weakness predominantly in lower limbs. Some individuals with severe involvement will eventually need a wheelchair. Neuropsychological tests have shown altered scores in executive functions in some. [from <a title="GeneReviews" href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK1116" class="defSource" target="_blank">GeneReviews</a>]</div><div class="spaceAbove"><strong>Full text of <i>GeneReview</i> (by section):</strong><br /><a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Summary" target="NBK1126">Summary</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Diagnosis" target="NBK1126">Diagnosis</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Clinical_Characteristics" target="NBK1126">Clinical Characteristics</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Genetically_Related_Allelic_Disorde" target="NBK1126">Genetically Related (Allelic) Disorders</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Differential_Diagnosis" target="NBK1126">Differential Diagnosis</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Management" target="NBK1126">Management</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Genetic_Counseling" target="NBK1126">Genetic Counseling</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Resources" target="NBK1126">Resources</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Molecular_Genetics" target="NBK1126">Molecular Genetics</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.Chapter_Notes" target="NBK1126">Chapter Notes</a>  |  <a class="medgenPMinfo" href="/books/NBK1126#opmd.References" target="NBK1126">References</a></div><div class="spaceAbove"><strong>Authors:</strong><br />

<div class="portlet_content ln"><div class="mgSection"><strong>From MedlinePlus Genetics</strong><br />Oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy is a genetic condition characterized by muscle weakness that begins in adulthood, typically after age 40. The term "oculopharyngeal" refers to the eyes (oculo-) and a part of the throat called the pharynx (-pharyngeal). Affected individuals usually first experience weakness of the muscles in both eyelids that causes droopy eyelids (ptosis). Ptosis can worsen over time, causing the eyelid to impair vision, and in some cases, limit eye movement. Along with ptosis, affected individuals develop weakness of the throat muscles that causes difficulty swallowing (dysphagia). Dysphagia begins with dry food, but over time, liquids can also become difficult to swallow. Dysphagia can cause saliva to accumulate and a wet-sounding voice. Many people with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy also have weakness and wasting (atrophy) of the tongue. These problems with food intake may cause malnutrition, choking, or a bacterial lung infection called aspiration pneumonia.<br /><br />Individuals with oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy frequently have weakness in the muscles near the center of the body (proximal muscles), particularly muscles in the shoulders, upper legs, and hips (limb-girdle muscles). The weakness slowly gets worse, and people may need the aid of a cane or a walker. Rarely, affected individuals need wheelchair assistance.<br /><br />Rarely, individuals have a severe form of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy with muscle weakness that begins before age 45, and have trouble walking independently by age 60. These individuals often also have disturbances in nerve function (neuropathy), a gradual loss of intellectual functioning (cognitive decline), and psychiatric symptoms such as depression or strongly held false beliefs (delusions).  <a target="_blank" href="https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/oculopharyngeal-muscular-dystrophy">https://medlineplus.gov/genetics/condition/oculopharyngeal-muscular-dystrophy</a></div></div>
