Abstract

Using needle transcutaneous electromyography of internal laryngeal muscles and kalymin tests, 40 patients with myasthenia of different forms were examined. It was found that patients with generalized and local pharyngeal-facial forms of the disease developed latent generalization of myasthenic injury. Characteristic changes can be used to determine the degree of disorders in the internal nervous-muscular apparatus of the larynx.
