Although myasthenia gravis (MG) is often considered the best-understood autoimmune disorder and effective treatments have controlled life-threatening complications, the pathogenesis of ocular myasthenia (OM) remains enigmatic, and its clinical consequences offer therapeutic challenges.About half of patients with MG present with visual complaints of ...

Childhood ocular myasthenia gravis
Ophthalmology, 2003To investigate the clinical manifestations and ocular findings in children with ocular myasthenia gravis (MG) that rarely have been reported in the literature.Retrospective, noncomparative case series.Twenty-four consecutive patients less than 15 years of age with ocular MG treated between June 1988 and July 2001.The medical records of 6 boys and 18 ...

Pediatric Ocular Myasthenia Gravis
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2019We present a review of current strategies in the treatment of pediatric ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG). A critical appraisal was performed of the current literature available on OMG and the treatment options available for all age populations. From this data, we present the evidence surrounding therapeutic options for pediatric OMG and discuss treatment

Ocular myasthenia typically causes intermittent or fluctuating ptosis and diplopia but is often difficult to diagnose definitively. We discuss the approach to the patient with suspected ocular myasthenia but no acetylcholine-receptor antibodies, and review the treatment options for ocular myasthenia.

Ocular myasthenia typically causes intermittent or fluctuating ptosis and diplopia yet can be difficult to diagnose definitively. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the symptoms and signs of ocular myasthenia. We next discuss the laboratory workup for antibodies that are associated with ocular myasthenia and describe bedside tests that can helpful ...

JAMA, 1964
A CAREFULLY CONDUCTED CLINICAL TRIAL is the most efficient means by which to determine the usefulness of a particular treatment in a particular disease. Sometimes a treatment is so obviously effective that a clinical trial serves primarily to establish its usefulness relative to other treatments and to the severity of disease.

OCULAR myasthenia is a wellknown, localized form of myasthenia gravis frequently limited to the extraocular muscles. It occurs in 20% to 25% of adult patients with this disorder. 1,2 A patient with ocular myasthenia in whom multiple brief recurrences were each followed by rapid spontaneous remission lasting several years is the subject of this report.

Ocular Aspects of Myasthenia Gravis
Seminars in Neurology, 2000Ocular myasthenia gravis is a not uncommon autoimmune disorder causing diplopia, ptosis, and weakness of lid closure. The predilection of myasthenia for the ocular muscles may be related to differences between limb and extraocular muscles in either physiological function or antigenicity. Clinically, ocular myasthenia can mimic any form of pupil-sparing
