Co-existence of Euthyroid Graves Ophthalmopathy and Isolated Ocular Myasthenia in a Patient with Vitiligo: A Challenging Diagnosis of Auto-immune Polyglandular Syndrome-3C

ABSTRACT We report a case of euthyroid Graves ophthalmopathy associated with isolated ocular myasthenia gravis appearing in a patient with longstanding vitiligo, compatible with an autoimmune polyglandular syndrome-3C phenotype. The coexistence of these two entities, in the absence of either overt t...
