Oculopharyngodistal myopathy is characterized by the adult onset of ptosis, external ophthalmoplegia, dysphagia, and distal weakness. Although dysphagia is common, other gastrointestinal involvement has not been described. We report a case with childhood onset who developed chronic intestinal pseudo-obstruction. Other myopathies associated with ophthalmoplegia and intestinal pseudo-obstruction such as mitochondrial cytopathies were excluded, Whether oculopharyngodistal myopathy is a variant of oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy or a distinct neuromuscular disorder is unknown and requires further study.
