| Description |
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a neuromuscular junction disorder that frequently affects the extraocular muscles. Atrophic extraocular muscles have been reported in a few cases with ocular MG. It has been observed particularly in chronic cases with treatment difficulties. A few pathological studies demonstrated small muscle fibers, denervation, and fibrosis. Our aim of this study is to evaluate the size of extraocular muscles in patients with MG. |
