Myasthenia |
Description |
Conventional medical treatment of ocular myasthenia gravis employs an oral/systemic delivery. A recent case series reported successful treatment using peribular dexamethasone (Shi et al, BMC Ophthalmol, 2020). The treatment required up to 6 repeated, weekly injections. I describe the response of three patients to a single dose of peribulbar triamcinolone (40 mg Triescence), a longer-acting corticosteroid. |
