Abstract
We report limitation of gaze and slow saccadic eye movements by clinical examination and video-oculography in a patient with Becker muscular dystrophy. This rare association suggests that a dystrophinopathy should be considered in a patient with features characteristic of Becker muscular dystrophy even when mild impairment of eye movements is present.
