Update on Ocular Myasthenia Gravis
Seminars in Neurology, 2019AbstractMyasthenia gravis is an antibody-mediated autoimmune disorder of the post-synaptic neuromuscular junction resulting in fluctuating, fatigable weakness. Most patients first present with extraocular symptoms (diplopia and/or ptosis), and in 15% of cases symptoms will remain restricted to only the extraocular muscles (ocular myasthenia gravis [OMG]

Treatment of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2011Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder that is characterized by variable weakness and fatigability. Often, MG presents with only ocular symptoms such as ptosis and diplopia. Treatment of ocular MG is aimed at relieving the symptoms of ptosis and diplopia, as well as preventing the development of generalized MG symptoms.

In their discussion of the results of a retrospective chart review of 32 patients with ocular myasthenia gravis treated with prednisone for variable periods, Kupersmith and colleagues 1 neglected to mention the only controlled clinical trial of anything in myasthenia—namely, of corticotropin.

Myasthenia gravis: Antibodies to acetylcholine receptor in ocular myasthenia gravis
Journal of Neurology, 1981To improve the sensitivity of the radioimmunoassay method for anti-AChR-antibody, large amounts of sera from patients with myasthenia gravis, and higher concentrations of antigens and rabbit anti-human-IgG-antiserum, were used. These procedures enabled measurement of the titre value of over 0.04 pmol/ml serum and this value revealed a sensitivity about

Ocular myasthenia gravis, although clinically often characterized by typical classical features, can cause considerable diagnostic problems. This article aims to provide a pragmatic approach to the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnostics and therapeutic strategies in the clinical routine.

Ocular dysfunction accounts for nearly 70% of the initial manifestations of myasthenia gravis. Since the prevalence rate of myasthenia gravis is two to 10 cases per 100,000 population, it is important for clinicians to be cognizant of this disorder and its varied ocular presentations.

Ocular Myasthenia Gravis and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis
American Journal of Ophthalmology, 1975Two patients had ocular myasthenia gravis coexistent with Hashimoto's thyroiditis. A 37-year-old woman presented with diplopia and displayed a head tremor and thyroid enlargement. Thyroid function tests showed an elevated thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).

SFEMG in ocular myasthenia gravis diagnosis
Clinical Neurophysiology, 2000In typical cases, the patient's history and clinical examination make it possible to diagnose ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG). But, in many cases a clear clinical picture is not present and OMG diagnosis is very difficult because gold diagnostic standard tests are not available.

Strabismus Surgery in Ocular Myasthenia gravis
Ophthalmologica, 1996We evaluated the efficacy of eye muscle surgery in 4 patients with ocular myasthenia gravis with troublesome diplopia. All patients were in remission and had shown a consistently stable angle of deviation for at least 6 months preoperatively. The extent of eye muscle surgery was based on the degree of deviation in the primary position, and conventional
