| Description |
In previously published reports, 49% to 69% of patients with Ocular Myasthenia (OMG) will progress to Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (GMG without any medical intervention. Of the patients with only ocular manifestations at onset who later develop symptoms of generalized myasthenia, 60% to 80% will do so within two years of ocular symptoms. Previous studies have suggested that the use of corticosteroids in OMG patients limits the progression of Ocular Myasthenia to GMG. |
