Abstract

From the electrophysiological examinations, electromyography (EMG) and electroneurography (ENG) help neurologists and neuro-ophthalmologists in diagnosing diseases affecting the skeletal muscle, the neuromuscular junction, or the peripheral nerves, or if the neuro-ophthalmological symptom is part of a multisystemic disease affecting one of the above organs. This chapter briefly describes the role of EMG–ENG examinations in neuro-ophtalmologic diseases and then describes the most characteristic differences that help the clinician in recognizing neuro-ophthalmological diseases.
