Description |
Immunosuppressive therapy for ocular myasthenia gravis (MG) has usually consisted of systemic corticosteroids or azathioprine. Although each drug can induce a remission, each has drawbacks. Cyclosporine A (CsA) has been demonstrated in a controlled trial to be effective and safe in the suppression of MG. I report here my experience with 8 patients with ocular MG treated with CsA as the primary immunosuppressive modality. |
