Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune neuromuscular disorder caused by anti-acetylcholine receptor antibodies (AChR-Abs) or other etiologies.Ocular symptoms were the first presentations in 40-50% of MG patients.Ptosis and diplopia were the most common symptoms of ocular MG (OMG).Limited studies demonstrated that patients presented with initial symptoms of only ptosis in 47%,only diplopia in 14% and both ptosis and diplopia in 39% of OMG.[1] Variations of diplopia or ptosis did not significantly affect the physical or mental status of OMG. |
