Descriptor English: Ophthalmoplegia, Chronic Progressive External
Descriptor Spanish: Oftalmoplejía Externa Progresiva Crónica
Descriptor oftalmoplejía externa progresiva crónica
Entry term(s) CPEO
OEPC
distrofia muscular ocular
enfermedad de Graefe
miopatía mitocondrial ocular
Scope note: Miopatía mitocondrial caracterizada por parálisis lentamente progresiva de los músculos elevador del párpado, orbicular de los ojos, y musculatura extrínseca del ojo. En la biopsia muscular se encuentran fibras rojas rotas y atrofia. El inicio de la enfermedad suele ocurrir en la primera y segunda décadas de la vida, y la enfermedad progresa lentamente, hasta que, generalmente, se pierde la motilidad ocular.

Scope note: A mitochondrial myopathy characterized by slowly progressive paralysis of the levator palpebrae, orbicularis oculi, and extraocular muscles. Ragged-red fibers and atrophy are found on muscle biopsy. Familial and sporadic forms may occur. Disease onset is usually in the first or second decade of life, and the illness slowly progresses until usually all ocular motility is lost. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1422)
