Journal of the National Medical Association, 1994
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.

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

Ocular Myasthenia Gravis-Reply
Archives of Neurology, 1997In reply I thank McQuillen for reminding me of the study report by Mount. 1 This prospective treatment trial using 8 days of corticotropin appeared not to show any benefit on the abnormal ocular or lid function in patients with ocular myasthenia. Despite the fact that it was prospective, there were some significant flaws in the study.

[Atypical ocular myasthenia gravis].
Revue neurologique, 2005The diagnosis of ocular myasthenia gravis is rarely in doubt in patients with a proper history and typical clinical findings. However, myasthenia gravis can mimick any pupil-sparing eye movement disorder and several diseases may masquerade myasthenia gravis.

Myasthenia Gravis: Systemic and Ocular Considerations
Ophthalmology, 1979In the early 1930s, the neuromuscular junction was identified as the site of the abnormality in myasthenia gravis, based on the response of patients to anticholinesterase medication.3 It has since become apparent that acetylcholine, the natural transmitter, is synthesized chiefly in the motor nerve terminals4 and is stored in vesicles for subsequent ...
