Myasthenia Gravis (video) | Myasthenia gravis is a disorder of neuromuscular transmission resulting from binding of autoantibodies to various components of the neuromuscular junction. In this journal club session, I will review recent studies evaluating potentially pathogenic autoantibodies in patients with seronegative myasth... | Myasthenia Gravis, Autoantibodies, Thymectomy Immunosuppression | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Myasthenia Gravis: Time for Thymectomy? | Thymectomy has been considered as a treatment option for Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (GMG) since the association was first described (I am told, as I do not read German) by Lacquer and Weigert in 1901. | Myasthenia Gravis; Ocular Myasthenia Gravis; Thymectomy; Thymoma; Non-thymomatous Thymectomy | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Treatment of Ocular Myasthenia Gravis | Myasthenia gravis is caused by pathogenic autoantibodies to the postsynaptic neuromuscular junction. Clinically, this may affect any of the skeletal muscles causing variable weakness, which worsens with continued muscle activity. Ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) may affect the levator palpebrae superi... | Ocular Myasthenia; Treatment; Therapy; Pyridostigmine; Corticosteroids; Thymectomy; Azathioprine; Mycophenolate Mofetil | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Neuro - Muscular Disease Treatment | A review of neuro-muscular diseases that produce neuro-ophthalmic symptoms and then a discussion of the treatment options along with an algorithm for treatment of ocular myasthenia gravis. | Myasthenia Gravis; Ocular Myasthenia Gravis; Miller Fisher Syndrome; Lambert Eaton Syndrome; Chronic Progressive External Ophthalmoplegia | Neuro-Ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

The Impact of Acetylcholine Receptor Antibody Titers in Acetylcholine Receptor Antibody-Positive Ocular Myasthenia Gravis: Generalization, Presence of Thyroid Autoimmune Antibodies, and Thymoma | The importance of acetylcholine receptor(AChR) antibody titers in ocular myasthenia gravis (OMG) is scarcely studied. Therefore, we aim to evaluate the association between AChR antibody titers and conversion to generalized myasthenia gravis(GMG), presence of thyroid autoimmune antibodies, and presen... | Neuro-ophth & Systemic Disease ( eg.

Pediatric Neuromuscular Disorders (Video) | Disruption of the neuromuscular transmission, either at the presynaptic or postsynaptic junction, may result in fatigability and muscle weakness that commonly affect ocular motility and lid movement. We will review several of the pediatric disorders that influence neuromuscular transmission. | Pediatric Myasthenia Gravis; Congenital Myasthenia Gravis; Botulism | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Teenager with Acquired Strabismus: Do I Image? Do I Operate? (Video) | Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disorder involving the neuromuscular junction of skeletal muscles. Adult and pediatric prevalence estimates are approximately 2-30 and 1-5 per million person years, respectively; 10-15% of all cases occur in children. Ocular findings include incomitant strabis... | Strabismus; Myasthenia Gravis; Incomitant; Strabismus Fixus | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |

Repetitive Ocular Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (oVEMP) Stimulation for Myasthenia Gravis: Comparison Of Stimulation Paradigms | Early and accurate diagnosis is of utmost importance for the course and outcome of myasthenia gravis (MG). Recently, repetitive; ocular vestibular evoked myogenic potential (oVEMP) stimulation has been developed as a novel diagnostic tool for MG.; Quantification of extraocular muscle response decrem... | Myasthenia, Diagnostic Tests (ERG, VER, OCT, HRT, mfERG, etc) Eyelid & adnexal disease, Neuro-ophth & systyemic disease ( eg.

Adult with Acquired Vertical Diplopia: Do I Image? Do I Operate? (Video) | Fourth nerve or superior oblique palsies are exceedingly common in outpatient neurologic and ophthalmic practice. Along with thyroid eye disease they are amongst the most common conditions encountered, particularly in an outpatient setting. When evaluating a patient with acute symptoms consistent wi... | Hypertropia; Fourth Nerve Palsy; Schwannoma; Vertical Double Vision; Inferior Oblique Overaction | Neuro-ophthalmology Virtual Education Library: NOVEL http://NOVEL.utah.edu |
