title: [The clinical characters of myopatic pharyngoparalysis and laryngoparalysis with 3 cases report].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To improve the level of diagnosis and treatment about myopathic pharyngoparalysis and laryngoparalysis (MPL).
  
  
  METHODS
  3 cases of MPL were diagnosed by clinical inaterials, electromyogram, serokinase and muscle biopsy. The clinical characters are dysphagia, phonasthenia, abnormal electromyogram and high CPK et al. They were all treated with glucocorticoid.
  
  
  RESULTS
  The effect of treatment on all 3 cases was good.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is important to distinguish MPL with neuropathic pharyngoparalysis and laryngoparalysis. An appropriate glucocorticoid treatment is also impontant.
